>Does anyone have (or know of) a formula/calculation to determine the height and width of the VFP Desktop area. This would be the space below the menu bar (if any) and above the status bar (if turned on).

>REASON: My application allows the users to adjust the height of some forms inside the application. The application saves these sizes and uses them the next time the form is opened. I also do the same for the desktop (_screen). If the user shrinks the desktop to it's minimum size (that I allow) or changes screen resolution (users! ), then the form could extend past the size of the desktop. I want to know what space I have so that I can make the sizing of the form smarter, shrink it automatically when necessary.

What version of VFP? In 7.0 _SCREEN.Height and .Width specifically refer to the desktop (white area usually) and adjusts if toolbars are docked or undocked and does not include the menu bar or title text.
