If the onAfter start EEP says the same thing in the second instance of the
Form, the first instance will already have moved LEFT making the second
instance in the exact position as the first after it moves Left.

The only thing is it is the same form I want to pop up on top of itself.

Wouldn't you want to GETPROPERTY the left position of the first form and add
(or subtract) some number of pixels to that and use that number in an
OnAfterStart EEP PROPERTY command to locate the second form. You could to
the same with TOP.
That way, no matter where user moves the form, the second form is always in
the same relative position to the first, x number pixels to the right (or
left).

Hi
I want to open a second copy of a form on top of itself and have it
stagger so 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.
Thanks
