Hi Aritra,

This is my experience:

If the screen will not be resizable, then the size will depend on the screen resolution used by the client.

If you want to cover the Windows taskbar as well, then you should use the same size as the screen resolution used by the monitor: So set the Width = 800 and Height = 600 for a resolution of a screen of 800x600. Of course you can create the form larger than that, but the real estate that you can use for your controls is limited to what you can see on the screen.

To successfully cover the taskbar, set AlwaysOnTop property to .T. and the Desktop property to .T.

You will get a lot of additional work if the screen resolution can be different (so the client uses 14 inch and 17 inch monitors with your application at the same time), or the client uses Terminal Services that opens the screen in a window for example (that has happend recently to me, so check with the client first).
