>I know it doesn't answer your question but why don't you use the StartUpPosition property of the form to center your forms? You can center it on the screen or on the owner!


Thanks for your suggestion, I did know about how to use it there,, and also
because I want to create a procedural way of centering any N-number of forms
and just put one line code in the LoadEvent and to be as generic as possible
and also becouse I am a newbie with VB 6.0
