I am using xp. I know that when I use remote desktop to access a machine, the behavior varies depending on what I have hooked up to which machine. ie single monitor to double or double to double. I know in remote desktop there is a setting to allow it to span monitors at the client end. Not sure in Citrix.

The consultant on this project claims that when he goes in with citrix on a windows 7 everything works okay, but the client says the pause/dialog boxes split the screens for him. We're waiting to hear from him what operating system he has (obviously it's the same or older). Or perhaps there's an OS setting to govern how 2 monitors work? I don't know ... Karen 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. Mark Lindner
