Thanks for the suggestion, which I had alrady tried - to no avail.

However, the good news is that I powered down the PC and the problem went away. I had gotten some Fatal exceptions (under NT 4 SP6a) that would only go away by killing the VFP7.exe in the Task Manager Processes. Apparently do so did not reset everything.

And I guess I'll be happy just to have it back in the middle, although I would like it to be in the middle of my form, not the middle of the screen.
