Jim (and others) I'm familiar with most of the above... But to change the color of the form(s) TITLE BAR, CAPTION COLOR, etc. ...This is my curiosity. Thanks, Phil Philip M. Traynor, DPM www.doctorprofessional.com

Thanks Jim, I'll try these and report as feasible. Philip M. Traynor, DPM www.doctorprofessional.com

Do any of you know how one might change display properties programatically, without affecting other windows' windows? Caption Font, color of title bar, etc. Thought it might be interesting to play around with such (non-critical apps, etc.) Thanks in advance, Philip Philip M. Traynor, DPM...

Gert, I may be way off here, I'm using "frx2any" (do google search) from a free trial version, that works fair to midland. Everything else out there truly has failed for me. I'm assuming your frx2word object even exists, etc. Does it exist, etc.? Phil Philip M. Traynor, DPM...

Tastrade (I think) used a custom application (oApp) class as well as a custom environmental class: I think oApp.Init or oApp.do (UDF) called the environmental class to set and reset public variables at the start. oApp.Cleanup (UDF) may have released them and called the environmental class to...

Craig, I tried sys(1104) (with and without '?' preceding) and to no avail. Great idea purging the cache, albeit I'm running pretty high RAM these days (if that makes a difference) Another side note: I've had to place WAIT commands to slow report processing down, i.e.: WAIT window...

Very well Craig, I'll try sys(1104) above and/or below the report command(s) Thanks, Philip Philip M. Traynor, DPM www.doctorprofessional.com

I placed this command: _screen.ActiveForm.windowstate=0 ... just before the offensive report line (REPORT FORM (xreport) FOR &filt_expr PREVIEW) This has worked around much of the crashing (for now). Again, thanks for the logic. Philip M. Traynor, DPM www.doctorprofessional.com

Rick, I'll certainly give your suggestions a try, to work out all the pieces. I'll let you know + or - shortly. A side note ...: My VFP reports per se are truly quirky, especially report previews (for example): 1) While launching a preview, the report designer often appears to visibly 'jump...

...Yes, everything was fine in VFP8 after all the VFP and XP-service packs and patches. Then this!: The crash is the same for All my different computers with different printers and all those service packs updated, (even the one with windows 2000.) Windows fatal errors take place only when...

Thanks Mike, Jim, Craig, 'Don't know how I missed on that 'Scheduled Task' for windows. It seems to solve all the problems SANS programming. (Don't want to re-invent any more wheels) It seems the best way to go at present. As for bbsystray.fll, I should check it out as well. Philip M...

I'm experimenting with a DesktopTimer.exe concept to hopefully run other 'My.exe'(s) (backround backups, schedule updates, etc.) and am having frustrations: 1) The Timer class object sticks only to a form (container class); is there another idea for a programatic timer (DOWHILE loops?) to run...

Brian (and all), this works spectacularly for me now: Here is my COMPLETE working prototype in just a few lines of code using James dll and your wallpaper resources: _screen.WindowState= 2 _screen.backcolor=rgb(255,255,255) &&or whatever report format 'reports\visit\schedmo' for...

Brian, I finally figured out James Kahn's dll and it truly is great. Apparent Advantages I see are: 1) It gives directory option as to where to save the bmp (vs. default mypictures) 2) It snaps a (developer/user) controlled dimension of the screen. 3) It bypasses MSPaint altogether. 4) It...

Brian, I'm excited about studying and implementing this work-around and seeing the whole idea work (however crude it may function). Time permitting I'll keep you posted: re-state the conclusive code, and/or discuss a few other loose ends. Thanks again for your exceeding thoughtfulness in this...
