Al, Like you I would love to see DxBase take greater advantage of dual monitors. I have not had the problem of screens freezing up with dual operation with DxB but I have seen oddities. On one occasion I found DxB does not like my dual ATI video card if the second monitor is not connected. I have also found updated video drivers are a must with my ATI video card for all programmes, not only DxBase. So DxB is not always to blame for weird issues when it comes to dual video cards.
Though not technically a frustration, it would be nice on a future upgrade to have DxBase able to spawn all the daughter windows outside the main program window and place them where I want on either monitor and have DxB to remember where they were when the program closed.
