>Hello all,
>
> I am in the middle of building a program to do away with an OLD FPW 2.6 program. Without going into specifics the program takes financial information and produces statements and graphs. At one time it had 30-40 users now we have three active sites. The sites dial in to the home office and download current data, I was told the program was in good working order and not to worry about it. Well now I have a problem the program is popping up an error when I try and run the graph, I am getting a position is off the screen error. Is it possible that this is a date related issue? Any help would be appreciated.

This error is most often related to a font problem. First, don't use MS Sans Serif for anything. It's actually the worst font you can use. Use a true type font. Arial works well and looks very close to MS Sans Serif.

Second, make sure you set the base font of the SCREEN in both development and runtime. MODIFY WINDOW SCREEN FONT "Arial", 10. This will ensure the same base font for dev and runtime.
