Thanks, these numbers (which I should have remembered were in the documentation - duh!)
should help me out.

>>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).
>>
>>I know SYSMETRIC() could be used to help calculate this, but I'm not sure of everything to include. I also know that _Screen.Height and _Screen.Width will help, but this is the size of the whole desktop (including title bar, menu bar, status bar, etc.)
>>
>>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.
