I included "SCREEN=OFF" in a configuration file and started VFP with that configuration file. Then built the application. It did not work and I still see the flash. Besides, I did not get -- "Built this file IN the EXE."

Do I need to specify the configuration file in the main file of my application? How?

Thank you so much.
