Howard, thanks for the reply. My two LCDs are of different size and different resolution, I understand your idea and I am already using AA windows/formula editors on the second screen, but when it comes to chart display, it is not convenient to resize the AB main program window to fill the whole two screen and resize the chart windows within it , cuz unlike what it deals with layouts, workspaces, AB cannot memorize all these resizings, you have to repeat the resize/rearrange operation every monring you open the program. So now I decide to settle down with the idea of running two instances of AB, that works well with multi-monitors.
