Part of this is the way windows works also, its not just Rbase. I have dual montors and when I use other programs the same thing happens. I just downloaded a data file from a web site, the site was on the #2 screen but the dialogs pop up on the center of the main screen, no matter where the parent window was. Maybe someone with a better system level knowledge will know if there is a way to change that, or is it just the windows default that causes them to move.

If I have a small form and put a PAUSE USING 'HELLO' on the on-after-start, when the form comes up centered on my screen, the pause is centered within that centered form. Now add a PROPERTY RBASE_FORM LEFT 10 in that eep, the form moves way to the left, but the PAUSE is still centered on my computer screen, way off to the side of the moved form. So that's what must be happening at the clients. I really don't want to go through every program I've written and push pauses/dialogs to the left too. Karen We start off with a form to which all other forms are children. They all inherit the parent's location. As for pauses and dialogs, I thought that all those would follow the parent form.
