Tony, Thank you for the help and ideas. Once I understood how to call a form as mdi and how to use the property RBASE_FORM I was able to accomplish exactly what I was hoping for. One form calls the next and places the second form on the 2nd monitor (projector).

David, It is possible, but as always there is more than one solution for the problem. The question is to find the right one. 1. Using MDI you can give the form an alias and be sure the forms are next to each other (at least no overlap). You can use the property statements like PROPERTY RBASE_FORM TOP, LEFT , RIGHT and WIDTH to position the form on the screen. 2. You can switch between the MDI forms using setfocus.

Using the latest version of 9.5. I can't figure out how to have multiple windows open and active at the same time. I've read about MDI, but it doesn't seem to do the trick. I need to have two or three windows open at the same time with on click eep in a button in one window causing the other window to update. Not sure if it makes a difference, but plan to have the second window on a second monitor (projector) so that only the updates show, not the clicks and functions that cause them. Thanks in advance for any help. David Fowler
