Marc,
I'm thinking and typing so this may not work.
On Before Start EEP in your form
IF (CHKVAR(vFirstForm)) = 0 THEN
SET VAR vFirstForm INT = 1
ELSE
SET VAR vFirstForm = 2
ENDIF
On After Start EEP in your form
IF vFirstForm = 2 THEN
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM TOP 200
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM LEFT 200
ELSE
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM TOP 100
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM LEFT 100
ENDIF
Sounds like it would work but maybe not. The only time I do the form
postioning
is when I call a different form.

That's what I ran into, I have been chasing my tail all day and have not
had a chance to try other suggestions.
Thanks
