>Hmm, as I thought - the reason I ask , is , one of our apps when run on a laptop "doesn't fit" on the screen - also the laptop's monitor doesn't support 1280 x 1024 which is what the app normally runs on a PC !

I know what you are saying, those new Acer laptop that only supports 800x600. I have a few apps that I've put a msg box up notifying that the app is designed for 1024x768 when the app launches (I check for screen resolution first).
Yes the design are feature in VFP was nice.
