We had a sort of similar problem. I found some
PC's that would AutoScroll even though it didn't need to (600x800 seems to
be different on some machines) and when this happened it would not fire the form
onActivate event. When looking at the Autoscroll property it appeared to be set
ot False (Not the Default) yet it wasn't saved in the form if you viewed the
form text. These screens were created ages ago with D1 and the problem only
occured with D4. By adding the AutoScroll property to the for text the problem
went away.

Subject: [DUG]: Large Fonts and 640x480 Screen ResolutionI have just come across some strange behaviour with a D4 application.The application is deployed on several hundred machines throughout the country, it runs fine on all except 5 or 6 where it exhibits odd behaviour.We have traced this odd behaviour on machines running large fonts under Windows95 only - what happens is that as part of the form create logic actually executes the code associated with the OnEnter of the first Edit control in the tab order on the form even though that form is not the ActiveForm - this does not happen on machines running small fonts. The simple answer was to ask those users to change to small fonts - problem solved, or so we thought.However not quite that easy - we now find that if the application is run on a machine with a screen resolution of 640x480 under Windows95 or Windows98 (not sure about NT), then the application displays the same behaviour patterns as it did on machines running large fonts under Windows95.Does anyone have any ideas.Thanks in advanceSteve Galyer
