Hi,

I'm converting an old FPW application to VFP8. I've converted all the
screens to forms. There was one problem which is documented at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/195514/EN-US/

I followed the steps suggested in the KB article and changed all instances
of ColorSource = 3 to ColorSource = 4.

When I run the application, forms open with all objects visible. But as
soon as I start to work on the form, all the objects vanish!

I can see each object by mousing over it or tabbing into it but that's
hardly the way it should be <s>.

All of the objects now have the following color properties:
            BackColor 255,255,255
            BackStyle 1 Opaque (Default)
            BorderColor 0,0,0
            ColorScheme 1 User Windows
            ColorSource 4 Windows Colors (Default)
            
So what is making the objects vanish?

Thanks, Frank
