>>Can anyone here hit F1 in VFP6/7/8 and get a MAXIMIXED help screen? I realize it is an IE problem, but for Christ's sake - 3 OS and IE versions and this annoyance is still here. If someone has the magic fix to get a child window to open maximized - I'll buy that secret.

That's the problem, Al. IF I use the maximize button, it remembers nothing. If I close the first IE instance, then stretch the child to as close to maximum as possible, close that, restart the whole shooting match again, that last resizing IS remembered and child windows will open to that near maximized position. Never maximized, though. It will just not do it. There were threads in the past here about it - you can get close, but not all the way.I will pay for the secret!
