Mike, Inheriting the Workbench settings is *wrong*, except at startup and if their is no user preference. The Screenmode should be set based on the screenmode that was in use when the form was created. It should also be possible for me to set via SBase4's preferences what screenmode I want the program to operate in. Opening 256 color windows is NOT AGA support. AGA support means to me that the display database is used. Mike, I am not flaming you. I just need this thing to work reasonably. I can't request my customers to change their workbench everytime the want to run my software under SuperBase. Try this for fun. Create a form on an A3000 in 640×400 Interlaced. Now move that form over to an A4000 that has the workbench set in productivity mode. Now open that form. What you get is Productivity Interlaced, which is 640×800 (and more if you have an overscanned Workbench). Your form is the tiny FLASHING beast at the top of the screen. Fun, but hardly usable. Not acceptable at all. Thanks for taking the time to answer me though Mike.
