I have a method that runs when an application starts. This is it:

** make main Foxpro screen invisible

_SCREEN.Visible = .F.

** clear system menu

SET SYSMENU TO
DEACTIVATE MENU _msysmenu
HIDE MENU _msysmenu
CLEAR MENUS
RELEASE MENU _msysmenu

***** set up screen

_SCREEN.AutoCenter = .T.
_SCREEN.Caption = this.ScreenCaption
_SCREEN.Icon = this.ScreenIcon
_SCREEN.Closable = this.ScreenClosable
_SCREEN.MinButton = this.ScreenMinButton
_SCREEN.MaxButton = this.ScreenMaxButton
_SCREEN.Height = this.ScreenHeight
_SCREEN.Width = this.ScreenWidth

******* make _SCREEN visible

_SCREEN.Visible = .T.


It centers fine on a 1024X768 machine ( same as development machine) , but not on 800X600 machines.
