Brenda,

I have this code (among other things) in an aSetup.prg that gets run on startup of VFP:

ON KEY LABEL F9 DO DockWindows IN aSetup

PROCEDURE DockWindows
	*JCJB*	Activate the Tool windows to make sure they exist.
	ACTIVATE WINDOW View
	ACTIVATE WINDOW Properties
	ACTIVATE WINDOW Document 

	*JCJB*	Dock the Data Set window on the Right.
	DOCK WINDOW View POSITION 2

	*JCJB*	Dock the Property Sheet and Document View as tabs in the Data Set window.
	DOCK WINDOW Properties POSITION 4 WINDOW View
	DOCK WINDOW Document POSITION 4 WINDOW View
ENDPROC

This docks the Data Session window, Properties sheet, and Documnet View window together tabbed and docked on the right of my screen. I keep my command window docked on the bottom. Then, if I want to hide the group, I simply click the X in the upper right hand corner of the dock window group. When I want it back, I simply press F9. You could modify the above slightly such as:

ON KEY LABEL F9 DO DockWindows IN aSetup

PROCEDURE DockWindows
	*JCJB*	Activate the Tool windows to make sure they exist.
	ACTIVATE WINDOW View
	ACTIVATE WINDOW Properties
	ACTIVATE WINDOW Document
	ACTIVATE WINDOW Command

	*JCJB*	Dock the Data Set window on the Bottom.
	DOCK WINDOW View POSITION 3

	*JCJB*	Dock the Property Sheet, Document View, and Command Window as tabs in the Data Set window.
	DOCK WINDOW Properties POSITION 4 WINDOW View
	DOCK WINDOW Document POSITION 4 WINDOW View
	DOCK WINDOW Command POSITION 4 WINDOW View
ENDPROC

HTH,
Chad
