Thanks for the ideas Mike,

I've tried it both ways now and it seems to work the same. My preview window will be sized to maximize but it is really NORMAL and I have to always doubleclick on the titlebar again to reduce it and then maximize it again in order to show the horizontal scrollbar....

REPORT FORM (rpttoview) &prescope FOR &forclause PREVIEW IN WINDOW PREVIEWFORM

>>The F3 key (even manually pressed with preview window open) does nothing. I think I am running into the same problem I am experiencing in another thread that I cannot get the horizontal scrollbar to be visible unless I manually click on maximize once the preview comes up (a separate issue). The F10 key does nothing either, only double-clicking in the preview window's title bar or clicking on maximize will actually maximize the form yet the form is the size of a maximized window. As soon as I issue the MOUSE DBLCLICK command in deactivate, the toolbar docks as I want it to but the form is no longer maximized 'literally'. The report designer window never exists - I've trapped for it throughout the entire process. The problem I have is that I send the report to window inside a form using:
>>
>>

>>LOCAL oPreviewForm
>>oPreviewForm = NEWOBJECT('PreviewForm', 'Pro32.vcx')
>>REPORT FORM (rpttoview) &prescope FOR &forclause WINDOW PREVIEWFORM PREVIEW
>>oPreviewForm.Release
>>

>>
>>In the deactivate of the form, I have:
>>
>>

>>*--Preview form class deactivate
>>DODEFAULT()
>>IF WEXIST('Report Designer') && <-never runs because it doesn't exist
>>   MOUSE DBLCLICK AT -0.1,0.1 WINDOW "Report Designer"
>>   INKEY(.1)
>>   MOUSE DBLCLICK AT -0.1,0.1 WINDOW "Report Designer"
>>ENDIF
>>IF WEXIST('Print Preview')
>>   MOUSE DBLCLICK AT -0.1,0.1 WINDOW "Print Preview"
>>ENDIF

>>>Remove ZOOM WINDOW "Report Designer" MAX
>>>Here is exactly what works for me. I create a program:

>>>>>>Also, to dock the report preview toolbar I use the code MOUSE DBLCLICK AT -0.1,0.2 WINDOW "Print Preview" in the form's deactivate... and it works great. However, i would like to get rid of the flash that occurs because the toolbar opens up on top of the preview form and then docks... it also leaves a shadow image of where the toolbar was before it was docked... Anyway to hide it until it is docked?
