I think that my previous mail was incorrectly send. In order to have the form coordinates, we use this methodology: 1) The first form have a field (or button) with associated EEP that call the second form...and so on.... 2) The first form is a full screen form (without the AT x1,y1,x2,y2 option) 3)The called form is designed starting on the upper left corner of the screen area 4) When you have inserted all fields, buttons, ecc you must draw a box aroud your fields to delimit the dimension of your form. The status line of form designer show the values x: y: cx: cy: (the dimension of the box) 5) add 30 pixels (or more) to the values of x2 and y2 (depending of your screen resolution) 6) In your EEP use the command EDIT USING formname AT x1,y1,x2,y2 If you don't like the status bar in the called forms, you can control the system variable RBTI_NOSTATUS SET VAR RBTI_NOSTATUS=0 EDIT USING formname AT 3,3,410,421 (fo example) CLEAR VAR RBTI_NOSTATUS I've a zipped WORD document (83.5 KB) containing some images showing the method described that I can send you (and to all friends of the list) at your private e-mail.
