I used a memvar, but the main problem is this:

In the form designer, in properties you have Witdh, and there
you can't put a memvar or constant. You have to put a number (
(10,120,640 etc) so I'm forced to put 640.

In the Activate Event I put:

ThisForm.Width=MyWidth (memvar or constant)

Suppose MyWidth is 800. I also tried in the Init Event.

When I run the form: The Width is still 640.

I can't change it to 800 unles I put 800 in
the Width Property of the form.

So the width is always constant and I can't change it
dependign of sysmetric().

Any suggestions.

Thanks for your help and time.

Francisco
