Well, I have most of those settings done already.

I verified that the coordinates that are being passed correspond to the position I want on the top level form. Desktop is set to false and the child form is set to a 1 (in top level form). It appears that the child form does not know the coordinates of the top level form because if the child form is autocentered the form shows up. It is a model form and control is being set to it because the top level form will not allow any interaction. As for covering the top level form. No. It is a search form that comes up from a click event on the top level form.



>Hi Patrick,

>>I have a top level form that makes a call to another form that is in a class. The form is called via createobject. I have passed parameters to place the called form into a specific location within the top level form but when I run it, the called form is placed way off the screen somewhere. Question is, is this possible to do and if so, how?
