Hmmm... A follow up on my own eMail? Okay... I turned off the dual
monitor mode, and the app loads fine in maximize window mode. I played
around with the dual monitor display setup some more, but as yet have not
found a solution. I actually set up my apps to auto-center if a person is
running with a single monitor, and for multiple monitors I tuck the the app
windows into the upper left of the display sets, as autocentering on a dual
monitor system yileds some strange results g. Anyway, I do not get the
feeling the app is hiding because of the dual monitor display when lit up in
maximize window mode, but... Who knows.

Subject: VFP9 under Vista, a little bit of strangeness...
Greeting All!
I put together a VFP app previously compiled under VFP7, recast it into a
more complex database structure using VFP9, and compiled as an .exe under
VFP9. I had it all working great running as an .exe, and later
installable
on a raw machine (I use VPC to test all Windows OSes from Win98SE through
Vista). It installed and ran great under all OS levels until I hit Vista.
My previous apps (all VFP7 compiled and set up for installation under
InstallShield v-11.x) ran fine under Vista, so I surmised I must have done
something goofy in the VFP9 build.
Long story short... Even after upgrading to InstallShield 2008
(v-11 seems
to work for Vista but does not list Vista as an OS option, but v-2008
specifies Vista as an OS choice) I was running into that problem. I found
that the problem went away f I set the Shortcut used to fire up the app is
set to Normal window size, but seems to fail when it is in Maximized
window size. I see the title bar, but no app, so I would kill it via Task
Manager. If I maximize the app window when it is running it behaves
perfectly after maximizing.
I can live with this, but I was wondering if anyone else has seen that
happen. This was on a dual monitor machine, BTW, but nothing shows on
either monitor when started in Maximized window mode.
