Hi Tim,

No, this is the behavour by design. The docked toolbars are not included into VFP window (screen) coordinates calculation, they are outside its borders. When you add a docked toolbar the 0,0 screen position visually shifts. You may use your toolbars undocked, if appropriate ( use otoolbar.Dock(-1) method), then they will be floating inside the VFP screen and will not move the forms. But if the user dock it with the mouse, the forms will visually shift.
