Marc,
Try this:
Set alphablend to 0, move the form, then set alphablend to 255.
You may need to set it to zero in the form properties, then to 255 after
your move.

Thanks Razzak
I put the PROPERTY RBASE_FORM LEFT 'nnn'
in the On After Start EEP.
I was hoping when the second form opened up it would move to the left of
the
first form making then stagger.
I will get to work on this

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,
Razzak.
