    Transparency: Make the Window Background of Your VFP Forms transparent (Windows XP ... 10 / 11)

    Hi Mike, I assume Chriss is right in everything he wrote if you set Desktop = .T., VFP makes the window internally a top level window - not shown in the Taskbar that's why your code now also works with Windows 7 I believe it even works with Windows 2000, XP and Vista ... Regards, Stefan

    VFP6 - &quot;Delay&quot; in changing DBF files file modified time

    Hi ducklord, Your observation is correct :-) the modification date is updated when the table is closed: manually with USE - or - automatically by VFP and this is not an issue but a feature: the modification date does not have to be updated for every user change Regards, Stefan

    what does VFP do when thisform.release is executed?

    Hi Mandy, THISFORM.Release causes two Form events: 1) Destroy event 2) Unload event it's a better idea to put CLOSE DATABASES CLOSE ALL into the Unload event Regards, Stefan
