Hi Paul,

In the beta, you could put code in the Activate method to re-dock the form if it is moved or undocked. I haven't tried it in the release version, but I imagine it will still work.

>I like the idea of dockable forms in VFP9. However, it would be much more useful to be able to programmatically dock a form and then remove the title bar so that the user cannot move or undock the form. This would allow the familiar MS Outlook look and feel in applications.
>
>The bad news is that if Dockable = .T. then the title bar must be present and the moveable property cannot be .F.
>
>Very dissapointing. I hope MS takes this concept a bit farther in VFP10.
>
>Does anyone know a work-around that does not involve spending more money?
