Minor correction, Tame doesn't load at Windows start-up but is in my autoexec.nt file so loads with any DOS programme.

Hi Don,

When I click the icon at the top left corner of the DP window, "properties" is not a menu option. What I see, other than the standard Windows DOS box options of Restore (greyed out), Move, Size, Minimize & Maximize, are various Tame options of Edit, View, Help, Tame Settings Files, Troubleshooting - all these have sub menus but nowhere do I see anything about window position. I think this is because I let Tame load at Windows start-up rather than as part of a batch file to run my DP application.

I will try the batch file approach and report back.

Thanks for your help,

Michael

Michael, since nobody else has offered a solution, let me try.

I do not use TAME at all for the purpose of positioning DP (I do use TAME). To set the position (& fonts & window size), I click the icon at the top left corner of the DP window, & choose "properties" from the menu.

Window position & theoretical size is set in the layout tab. I choose screen buffer size & layout size 80 x 25. That gives me a maximum DP screen, so far as I can tell. (The actual size of the window is set by adjusting the font on the font tab.)

Then I set the position in the Window position section - I choose 0,0 for the top left corner of my screen, but you can adjust it as you want it. Be sure that you have unchecked "Let system position window".

Click OK, & then choose "Save properties for future windows with the same title". That means it affects all DP databases, & retains the settings you have used.
Click OK again & you have it.

Hope this works for you as well as it does for me.

Does anyone have a good knowledge please of Tame: I have Tame 5 running on a Windows XP Pro system and despite removing the ";*" from the line "AutoSaveSettings=on ; Save view settings and use on next run" in "_ProcessStartup.init.tam", my DP applications do not remember the position of their window between sessions. What am I doing wrong please?
