Well again, whether SetBounds is called once or four times, it is called using the parameters you give it in the order you give them. That's the point I was trying to make. If for example you set a top and left only and set bounds was called, then right and bottom would only be restored, or preempted by their anchors to what other components required? I don't know, but I always finds something that works and then what doesn't but should can be compared call by call using Winsite or some other method.

Put IniSettings: if WindowState = wsNormal then begin WriteInteger ('Position', 'Top', Top); WriteInteger ('Position', 'Left', Left); WriteInteger ('Position', 'Height', Height); WriteInteger ('Position', 'Width', Width); end; WriteInteger ('Position', 'State', ord (WindowState)); GetIniSettings: Top := ReadInteger ('Position', 'Top', 1); Left := ReadInteger ('Position', 'Left', 1); Width := ReadInteger ('Position', 'Width', Width); Height := ReadInteger ('Position', 'Height', Height); WindowState := TWindowState (ReadInteger ('Position', 'State', wsNormal)); // Note: Window State must come after Top, Left and Height. But this does not store the last normalized position and size if a form is normalized, maximized and then closed. I hadn't previously been aware of SetWindowPlacement. I will have to try it out as it looks as though it may make things a bit simpler.
