>>>The situation: My app is pretty basic so far, with a toolbar always present on the main VFP window. One particular form is the focal point of the whole app, which I want maximized within the main VFP window. When it maximizes, it only maximizes up to the bottom of the toolbar, with the title bar visible. Of course, I want it to maximize all the way past the toolbar.

You're welcome, and you are not going nuts, John. The VFP6 Help for MDIForm reads:

Included for backward compatibility. Use the ShowWindow Property instead.

without a word about what the property does. If you follow the link to ShowWindow, you'll see that it actually has nothing to do with this setting, and there is no reverse link back to MDIForm. Shhh! We dare not complain, or MS will simply remove this functionality altogether.
