William, VFP 9 SP 1 it's working. Checking the help file for VFP 3, shows it existed. [Form.Init] THISFORM.Box(10, 20, 20, 30) That code draws a small square near the upper left of the form when it gets created. I thought perhaps it was the INIT of a contained object that might be causing the problem so moved the code to the INIT of a COMMANDBUTTON. Still draws the square.
