I ask a question a week or so ago and I probably wasn't real clear. So, I am going to re-phrase it.
I want to execute a form on the desktop without having the main VFP screen, just the form on the desktop. Anyone got any ideas.

First, set your main form's ShowWindow property to 2 - As Top Level form, then in your CONFIG.FPW, put the statement:

_Application.Visible = .F.

I had come across this same issue early on.

In your forms make them top level. Then in your main.prg file try putting this.

_SCREEN.hide this will remove the screen you are talking about. All the forms properties are set to show window as top level form. If you do not do this then you will not be able to see anything.
