I hit this before in one of my own. Try working in the Activate Event. See if that helps. You may need to block it off with something like:

IF EMPTY(THISFORM.Tag)
thisform.MyResize()
thisform.Tag = "1"

ENDIF

thisform.Container1.Left = 0

thisform.MyResize()

>When the form runs, the container is found at the 0,0 coordinates as expected, however, it's size is the same as in design mode. Now if you make the form it's normal size then maximize it again, everything is ok. If you resize the form, everthing is ok. It only fails when it first shows. Go figure...

>>Hi Mike,

>>It sounds like when you start the form initially maximized the form Resize event doesn't fire because the form isn't truly resizing.

>>Try changing the window state in Init() or put the code in a custom method and call that method from the Init and Resize events.
