I have two monitors also but I seldom stretch a program to expand across both monitors in runtime mode. NView is a pretty handy tool for that though and it came with my video card. Generally, I use the 2nd monitor so I can move the properties sheet and the command window, etc across to the 2nd monitor in development mode. Sometimes I need to compare the functionality of two different apps/forms/etc so I will run one on one monitor and the other on the 2nd monitor. I have found that running an app in runtime across two monitors generally doesn't work because most of our forms are autocentered and they end up slap dab in the middle of both monitors stretched between the two and then there is the appearance of a 'gap' in the form where the physical monitors' frames (borders) are. Also, if both monitors are not exactly the same height physically, the form drops down on the lower monitor.

>I am just starting to run VFP with dual monitors. There is a span-mode setting that makes a single virtual monitor out of the two monitors. This seems the only way to get VFP to occupy the whole of the virtual monitor. The main drawback(s) are that there is a common setting across both monitors (in dual-view mode, the two different monitors can have different resolutions/refresh rates) and, many centralised Windows dialogs end up slap in the middle of the two monitors.
