    Question My form wants ot always open in my second monitor

    Hi,
    I develop on a computer that has dual monitor set up, thi sone form alqways want to open in the second window; an I do nto know why. The problem is the users do not have tow monitors,m so when they go to open the form they do not see it; because it is opening in the 2nd monitor which is not there.
    I tried opening it and closing it in the first monitor but it keeps opening in the scond monitor only.
    What can I od to change this?
    Than you

    I don't use popup setting because it can be problematic. Change the setting and see what happens.

    And/or try the AutoCenter property set to Yes.

    AutoCenter didn't help either?

    Is form set as Modal?

    Open form not in design view, drag form to the desired location, save. Does that help?

    Want to provide db for analysis? Follow instructions at bottom of my post?
