Ok...I'm stumped again. Something in my development environment has suddenly changed, and I can't figure out the strange behavior. I can create new form classes based on cBizObjMaintenanceForm, configure a grid on page1, and then resize the form (either larger or smaller than the default 248x406). However, when I run the App and open this form it always appears in a 248x406 window regardless of the design setting. This wierdness occurs reproducibly even tho the grid and any other controls I add to the form function perfectly, and the design environment reveals no problems.

All the other forms I have previously based on cBizObjMaintenanceForm (both larger and smaller) still appear and function as they should in the App.

I am using MMF v6.1, VFP v6.0 SP4, and Windows ME. With the occasional crashes in VFP (my copy of Version 7 has not yet arrived) I first suspected some sort of file corruption. However, reinstalling MMF didn't help (neither v6.0 nor v6.1); reinstalling VFP didn't help; and reinstalling Windows ME didn't help. The ViewPortHeight and ViewPortWidth properties are read-only and are adjusted by Windows based on the form's public Width and Height properties. I haven't spotted any other properties that could lock in the form to the parent class size of 248x406.

I just can't figure out what is going on(much less what happened to the environment). Anybody have ideas? Suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
