You should use the registry to store this information. My framework does this by just setting a form property: Form.RememberPosition to .T.. It is done by instanciating a registry access object (I use Rick Strahl's) and just writing the keys on form.Destroy. And then the next tim the form starts, check for the existence of the keys in the form.load and reset the position. It will take some time to get it set up, but after you do it once, you never have to do it again.
