Hi Dave, I had not noticed the tooltip bug and, like you, I have managed to avoid Vista and hope to continue to do so. I have, however, installed SP2 and the new updated version over the top. I'm going to follow your example I think and bin SP2 until they release SP2a. The question is, is there an easy way to roll it back or will I have to uninstall VFP and re-install then apply SP1?
