>It does, as long as the main VFP window is not minimized. In my app I turn screen off. When the screen is off you never see the window that you have created because it seems to be only visible when the main VFP window is visible. Is there a way are this?

Sorry to take so long. I was out visiting Mickey Mouse with my little nephews <g>

I am sorry I don't have a ready answer as I don't do reports. I know about the trick you mention of using a window to control preview. I've never used it and I see that it wouldn't work with _screen minimized or off. I wonder if you could redirect to a floating (SDI form).

I sugggest you ask it again, in the Reports section. Maybe somebody can offer a good solution for you.
