Can you give us a screen shot of what's happening?

Generally it's not a good idea to run an LCD panel at anything other than its native (maximum) resolution. While running at the higher resolution you can size 3 VFP instances to anything smaller than that you want: either manually, or programmatically:

_Screen.Width = 1280
_Screen.Height = 800

One way to deal with multiple windows is to cascade them e.g. http://www.coolnerds.com/XP/ControlScreen/Control07.gif

>using the 1920 setting I am able to view and use the entire screen.

>using the 1280 cuts off about 1 inch on each side of the screen - but with vfp I am opening and viewing 3 windows at once in some cases and the smaller resolution allows me to view all three without cutting anything off.

>with the 1920 setting I am losing large chunks of the bottom two windows in vfp - however it opens up the entire screen for viewing other programs - apps - pictures etc.

>>>Just bought new mini laptop 13.3 with optimal screen resolution 1920x1080. However I need to change that setting to 1280x800 to view all data in VFP window.

>>>Is there an initial setting I can change in VFP settings or set up programmatically so that when I start VFP it will change the screen resolution to 1280x800 either for VFP alone or for the whole laptop configuration.
