Alex, Perhaps the software developers could make the same "coding error" for FoxView to give users some of the functionality that they prefer. Stan M. Ruth, P.E.

Marco is correct. In fact, I was told once that the DM's behavior allowing a display directly as a button is actually the result of a coding error not an intended feature.

Foxview on a Windows platform does not allow references to fdf displays directly in the top bar. You need to make a menu file with at least one display. I have seen it on Foxview 9.0x but it probably works this way on all versions.
