George,

Screen size is dependent on the font used. If the font is not available on the target machine, Fox substitutes a font, and the results are unpredictable.

You can start your app with something like this in the main program to give a standardized screen size. (I chose MS Sans Serif figuring it would be on every Windows 9x machine.)

MODIFY WINDOW SCREEN AT 00,00 SIZE 24,89 ;
TITLE "MyTitle" FONT "MS Sans Serif", 10 ;
CLOSE FLOAT GROW MINIMIZE ZOOM


>I am rewriting a 2.6 windows application that has been working well for ~2 years. The first phase re-write is ready to go to QC so I built an executable for use by the test team. In both the development and .app environments the screens display properly but when the .exe is run some of the screens display a smaller width (should be 405 p looks like ~300) causing objects on the screen to be on top of each other. This is a problem.
