Bruce – I certainly will take a good hard look. I’ll let you know how I make out – hopefully soon.
Thanks.

They don’t have to be closed. They can be parked here or there, or rolled up and available. The information in one or more forms can change with changes in another, so the info can always be fresh. I recommend giving it a look. On Apr 12, 2023 at 19:08 -0700, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> , wrote: Bruce, Thanks for the idea but unfortunately, we can’t do it that way. Here is why. The form is used in the Sun City West Posse dispatch office. The form contains on one screen all the information the dispatcher and the patrol car on the street might need. The dispatcher doesn’t necessarily have time to open, close forms. The information needs to be there. And, there might be two or three windows open at the same time depending on the number of ‘calls’ coming in. Hope this helps. Thanks!

Might there be opportunities to solve the issue for all screen sizes by 'splitting the baby' into two (or more) MDI forms (meaning you can skootch them around, roll them up and down as needed)? Razzak provides a sample application in the 2018 SAT: "Roll Up and Roll Down MDI Forms"[1] which quite frankly is a master class on the topic. Also, ala Jan J., one bolded item, below.

Is connected to 10 tables. 2. Uses six Enhanced Group Boxes as containers for the data. The Goal: to be able to scale the form to fit on a laptop. The form is 1863 wide and 1066 high. The Border Style is set to sizable. The setup works fine on 24 or 27 inch displays.
