is it possible to have results of certain procedures to be displayed on the desktop as a wallpaper OR on the desktop over the wallpaper
 
If i remember correctly and you have active desktop enabled you can set the desktop to an html file.

i would have said process build a static html file on compleation showing the results and set my desktop to this static html file.

This would do what you want

Prapti,

Do you mean the Windows desktop? Or the VFP background screen?

In the latter case, it's probably very easy, but you'll have to tell us what you mean by "results of certain procedures"? Do you mean a query result, or what?

i mean windows desktop

results can be anything but yes mostly from query results, i have already tried the static html approach but the wallpaper does not change till the next restart for some reason.
so maybe i am doing something wrong somewhere.
 
you could try placing a

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="600">
with in the <head></head>

setting content to some reasonable number i.e. 600=apx 10 minutes

I have not experimented this approach
