Harvey,
>The theme issue is my concern at this time. It doesn't work. I get all the nice rounded dialogs and blue color if I use "windowsXP.manefest" or not. If I use the manifest nothing happens. None of the other items on my dialogs such as coloring borders of says and gets, rounded buttons etc. Just doesn't work. Any thoughts?
Try compiling fwh\samples\win32.prg with buildh.bat or buildx.bat (depending on whether you are using Harbour or xHarbour) and see if the controls are themed.
I seem to remember you are using a DLL, is that true? I always use RC files instead--these are compiled right into the EXE. Perhaps there is a problem with the theme when using a DLL. Try converting your DLL to an RC (using Workshop; File Save As) and linking it into your app (see the buildh.bat for how).
I always had trouble trying to edit 32bit DLLs with Workshop--they end up corrupted. So, it is my suggestion to use RCs instead.

Is your program a cash flow analysis program or something like that? If so, I remember conversing with you many years ago.
Regards,
James
