>As I may have your attention, a quick question as to how much testing has been done with VFP 7.0 under XP with dual monitors. I have an issue with combo boxes (including those inside the PROPERTIES window) which do not display the drop down list on the second monitor.

That has not been a problem for me with the Matrox G450, Matrox G550 or ATI Radeon VE or Radeon 8500 with dual monitors under either Win2K Pro or XP Pro; I'm running right now on a G550 with a VIewSonic v790 and an Ensonic F300, and have the property window for a Form open on the F300 screen designated monitor 2, and the combo drops down just fine. I have some complainsts about the ATI driver and NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing, but that has nothing to do with VFP.

I did have to back off on the update to the ATI Radeon VE driver for XP; it mis-identified a VE/DDR as a VE/SDR and would not permit thw two monitors to run in separate sessions under HydraVision; this is my typical work environment, since I'll open up an ICA client under one session on the secondary monitor and switch sessions on that monitor between my local desktop running in session 1 and the ICA session running on session 2.

>I can work around by opening the affected windows only on the primary monitor, so its not a show stopper, but I did waste some time trying to figure it out...

I'd suggest you look at your video driver; I've got no indication that VFP was at fault, but I'm only working on the basis of 6 systems running with 4 different hardware configurations, all based on the use of a dualhead card of one sort or another.
