If only it were so simple. This impacts (so far) three users out of dozens.
The application has 239 forms. Then there are the countless dialogs, pauses and chooses. Significant parts of the app are still in 6.5. There, in the startup, I could: SET RBGSIZE 100 100 800 600 I was hoping there would be some similar solution for 7.6 ...

I am curious when you check for the Screen resolution, what value is returned when there are multiple monitors? Is it Height By (MonitorCount) * Width? If it were so, you could test in your startup for a couple of Global Vars and have a Run Select in the on After Start EEP of every form. I would add the Run Select to one form, then copy it from the Data col in Sys_Forms3 and paste it into the onAfter section in the Rest of them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Emmitt Dove" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 11:22 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: RBG76 and multiple monitors > Is that global, so that EVERY form will align itself thus, or would it > have > to be done on every form? > > Emmitt Dove > Manager, Converting Applications Development > Evergreen Packaging, Inc. > [email protected] > (203) 214-5683 m > (203) 643-8022 o > (203) 643-8086 f > [email protected] > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of MikeB > Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 11:05 > To: RBASE-L Mailing List > Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: RBG76 and multiple monitors > > You can set the Align to left in the property page, or in the on after > start EEP: > > Property RBASE_FORM LEFT n > Property RBASE_FORM TOP n > > for precise location.
