Well, here is the article (its nice being where I can read mail, and hit the 
knowledge base at the same time.)  Oh, and the _screen.visable property does 
not work for me.  I have to use _screen.enabled=.F. to do this.

The information in this article applies to:
ùMicrosoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 5.0
SUMMARY
In Visual FoxPro 3.0, you can hide the Visual FoxPro desktop in your run- 
time application by setting the position of the desktop off the screen, for 
example: 
   _SCREEN.Width = -1000
   _SCREEN.Top = -1000
However, in Visual FoxPro 5.0, you no longer have to do it this way.
MORE INFORMATION
In Visual FoxPro 5.0, you can easily hide the Visual FoxPro desktop in your 
run-time application by using the following steps:
1.In the Start-Up (Main) program of your project, add the following line of 
code at the very beginning:
      _SCREEN.Visible = .F.
2.Then, create a Config.fpw file, and add the following line:
      SCREEN = OFF
3.Set the Form s ShowWindow property to 2- As Top Level Form.
NOTE: If you do not plan to distribute the Config.fpw as a separate file, the 
Config.fpw can be included in the project as [Other][Text Files] or 
[Other][Other Files], and build it as part of the .exe file.
