Thanks Richard.

Your suggestion works, but, it's not perfect:) My only complaint about this workaround is that my form can be seen displayed at it's design time size for about a split second before it actually maximizes. This produces a flickering effect. Oh well, it's one step closer...

Do you think that the issue I've described in my original message (and that you've also run into) is a VFP bug?

>>I tried your suggestion but it still does not work. It's easy to reproduce:
>>
>>1) Create a form and drop a container control on it named Container1.
>>2) Set the form's WindowState = 2
>>3) Add a custom method called MyResize(). Add the following code:
>>
>>

thisform.Container1.Left = 0
>>thisform.Container1.Width = thisform.Width/2
>>thisform.Container1.Top = 0
>>thisform.Container1.Height = thisform.Height/2

>>4) In the form's Init() and Resize() events, put:
>>
>>

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...

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