We have all of our forms as top level (other than some lookup functions). Has not been a real big problem.

>Thanks to both of you. I reset some of the forms to top level forms and the user can now move them to the second monitor, which they will like. The ones I made top level were all modeless forms

>In reading some of the other threads on this, someone made the case that you should only have 1 top level form. My main form is an MDI form and I prefer to keep it that way as there are a ton of form in the application and I don't have the time right now to see what if any affects that might have on the other forms in the application.

>Have you had any problems with using just a few of the form top level or are you all top level? I never really used top level forms before so I really know only from what I have picked up in some other threads.

>>When I started development, I used dual monitors with laptop thus giving me 3 montitors. Others soon seen what advantages there were so we have quite a few that have dual monitors right now. Works great, especially if your application forms are set up to be top level forms. If not, then you might not get all the benefits.

>>One disadvantage I have found it when preview reports. Code presently spans all 3 monitors at once, but user is able to resize. Just a pita for them.

>>>My client just went and saw an operation where they going toward being paperless and were using dual monitors. Now he wants to be "cutting edge" and to go full bore with dual monoitors for everyone. Has anyone had any experiences with using dual monitors for your VFP applications. The company uses a lot of scanned documents which I can see would be very useful displaying them in the other screen. When I tested my VFP application using dual monitors I found there was very little they could move over to the second screen other than scanned docs. I guess they always can move the internet, email and get it out from under the application. I have thought about allowing them to open a second instance of the application, but I am a little fearful of that. On some of the employees I have had to reduce the number of options(icons) they had as they were getting confused, especially the junior accountants. The application has around 40 users and does policy services and underwriting for an
