Does it jump to the second monitor if you run your code from the Command window?
BTW, it's better to set _VFP.Left because it represents outer window of VFP Desktop.

Then again I tried to switch back to -A instead of -C above and I am getting the result I want but it comes up with the Command Window (which does not really work till I suspend the application) which I have to close and the VFP desktop flashing and stuff. I can live with this but it is not as clean as -C used to be for me (since 2006 :))
