Hi Marcus,

As Ed pointed out the width doesn't include the border. Further, the height doesn't include it nor the title bar. If you need to get the actuals there are two ways. One, uses the API, the other (far simpler IMHO) uses Foxtools. Try this:

STORE 0 TO nTop, nLeft, nBottom, nRight
* Get the window handle from Foxtools
* lccaption is the form's caption
* lnhWnd is the window handle
lnhWnd = _WhTohWnd(_WFindTitl(lccaption))
= _GetWRect(lnHwnd, @nTop, @nLeft, @nBottom, @nRight)

The values returned in the various variables include the width and height of the title bar, border, etc.

hth,
