I want to open a second copy of a form on top of itself and have it

you can see the edge of the first form. I tried PROPERTY RBASE_FORM
LEFT 'nnn'
but that does not seem to work.
I know this should be simple but I haven't been able to figure it out yet.
Marc,
Where in the process you are using such PROPERTY command?
FWIW, you will need to adapt a logic to use that PROPERTY command as
"On After Start" EEP.
To implement a process that dynamically changes the form coordinates,
define global variables for TOP and LEFT values and then concatenate
the string to be used as following:
-- On After Start EEP
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM TOP nnn
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM LEFT nnn
RETURN
OR
Duplicate that exact form with hard coded TO and LEFT PROPERTY commands
and use that form when needed as a second form to achieve your goal.
You may also look into using that same form as MDI with a different TOP
and LEFT coordinates.
Very Best R:egards,
