Thanks Tony,

I checked the fonts and finally found out the problem: The screens were designed too large for the Mac. The real deal is that I have to re-arrange some of the screens so that they fit the Mac. No big problem, just time-consuming. I was just afraid that I was missing something stupid. I'll check out that company, but I think we are moving from 2.6 to VFP 5.0 soon and we will try to get a plan that leaves our Macs and IBMs working together.

>>I haven't been able to find anything about this in our manuals or on the net. I have recently transported a good size fox 2.6 for windows app with many screens, all of which seem to be too large for the mac screen, to Mac 2.6 fox. The screens seem to all be too wide and run off the right or left hand side. I checked the screen resolutions on the mac and ibm side and everything seems normal. I tried a number of different resolutions and monitors on the mac, and nothing seemed to effect it. I'm hoping there is some little known config setting that fixes this so I don't have to rewrite all of these screens. Any ideas?
