Does anyone have experience building VFP6 applications that run on a Windows 98 machine with multiple monitors?

The Requirement: The same computer running the same application with a different instance of a form on three seperate monitors. The monitors are configured from left to right with the main monitor in the middle (Required for another application).

The problem: The main VFP window will only stretch as far as two monitors so I switched to an MDI type configuration. This seems to work, except for report previewing.

How can I get a report to preview in the active monitor? I have tried using the following:

define window ... mdi in desktop
report form ... in window
- nothing happens but several attempts causes a GPF.

I have also tried using the VFP window by making it visible and doing:
Report form to screen

The problems:
This always opens in the middle monitor
I can't get the report window to the same size as the _screen
Running another report from another monitor without closing report causes a GPF

Please tell me how I can get MODAL report previews in the same monitor where the request was initiated in an MDI type environment.

Thanks
Troy
