When I open a pre-existing FORM a s

[mtanney]

When I open a pre-existing FORM a short cut (ICON) is created on my desktop.

How can I disable the creation of the ICON on my desktop?

mtanney,

I can't imagine why this is happening, can you give more details? Are you opening the form from within Paradox, or from a file browser, what OS are you using, what version of Paradox. This is very strange behavior.

Yes, this is very strange behavior.

The Platform is Windows NT version 4.

I open Paradox.
I open a pre-existing form.
If I minimize the Paradox session an ICON is created on the desktop (a short cut to the Paradox form).
If I delete the ICON, the next time Paradox is opened and this form is selected the same occurs.

This only occurs when this form is opened in edit mode.

Can is have something to do with the desktop?

My guess is that id has something to do with NT or perhaps an other application that is causing this behavior. It's not a function of Paradox.

I'm stumped but I'll keep thinking about it.

mtanney,

One thing I didn't ask is does it happen with all forms? If you create a new form close it and then open it does the same thing happen.

I googled and found someone with a similar problem using access but with no real answer.
