>1. While in Form Design, the maximum width of a form is about 630 (pixels I presume). Yet the Form Designer window extends much farther to the right and cannot be accessed. How can I make use of a larger form than I currently can?

Set the desired max width and height in Tools:Options:Forms:Maximum design area

>2. When running a user created form after creating an EXE, the user created form is on top of a Microsoft Visual Foxpro Window. The user created from can be moved to another position of the desktop but leaves this white window from where it was moved from. Is there a way not to have this Microsoft Visual Foxpro Window?

In config.fpw,

screen=off

(BTW, it doesn't need to be a "white window", _SCREEN.BackColor = RGB(128,128,128) will display the more standard gray background).
