Doug,
Unfortunately it did not change anything. I tried with the window maximized and normal with your code but no change. The form simply jumps down about 12 pixels leaving white space at the top of the _screen when the function runs regardless of the window state.

Any other ideas.
Thanks very much for the help.

John
