Why is it that on laptops with wide screens that my application screens show up on the right side of the screen and the user has to drag the screen into the middle. Is there a way to make the screen always show up in the middle of the screen?
Thanks for any help.

I've doubled checked everything and when I compile I still get the "Compile error Method or Data member not found. When I compile your database I get the same error.

I'll call in some of my colleagues in on this one. If the problem can't be resolved, can you E-Mail me a Copy of your Database so that I may have a look at it?
Hi ADezii. Using A2003 I receive two error messages when I compile the code in the sample DB in post # 5. The compile errors both relate to the use of WindowState in class FormInfo.
The first error message relates to sub RetrieveCoords - method or data member not found.
.State = Val(GetSetting( AppName, _
strName, adhcState, Me.WindowState) )
I wonder if the use of Me is incorrect here as WindowState is not a property of an Access form. There is a WindowState property of the form class available in .Net, however - as this MSDN link shows.
The second is in SaveCoords - expected variable or procedure, not enumerated type.
Call SaveSetting( _
AppName, strName, adhcState, WindowState)
Confusingly, there is a WindowState defined as an enumerated type in the class module (hence the error). Given the potential confusion over the .Net form class WindowState property I wonder if this was deliberate overloading on the part of the class designer?

Hello, ADezii.
Unfortunately module of FormInfo class doesn't contain "Get" part of WindowState property. Seems like the file you've attached is not the final working version. ;)

Fish.

@CD Tom
Actually, both SaveCoords() and RetrieveCoords( ) methods could be thrown away if you don't intend to store form coordinates in windows registry.
That does take care of the Compile error and I don't intend to store form coordinates in the registry.
Thanks everybody for your help.

@ FishVal and Stewart, thanks guys for all your help, it is always appreciated. I've run this code on three different Access Versions, on three different PCs, and have had no problem. I'm more confused than ever. BTW, the base code was taken from the Access 2002 Desktop Developers Handbook, not exactly a 'shabby' source.
Back again and discovered my mistake. The DB that I Attached was only a subset of the actual Database which contained much more functionality in addition to the Center Form code. Obviously, in trying to make things more simple and compact, I've actually complicated everything and left a few things out in the process. Sorry for the run-around guys!
ADezii,
Can you send me the complete database I would like to see exactly what was causing the Compile error. I've removed the two sections and it seems to be working fine. Thanks for your help and also FishVal and Stewart.

I will be more than happy to, but its size is beyond the limitation allowed for an Attachment. Simply send me your E-Mail Address in a Private Message (PM), and I'll send it to you that way. BTW, it is full of very interesting and functional code.
I've never sent a private message, have been looking around and don't see how it's done, sometime I really feel stupid.

This is my problem :-
- I have set a form frmSplash as the startup form instead of sub Main.
- This means I dont create an instance of it myself at startup.. its automatically created.
- I have a timer on frmSplash set to 3000 ms interval - and here is its tick event :
Private Sub tmrStartup_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tmrStartup.Tick
Dim frmParent As New frmParent
frmParent.Show()
Me.Close()

Can't make forms authentication for non-ASPX files work
In my web app, I want to secure not only .aspx files, but also .htm files.
From what I've read, I have to jump through some hoops to protect the .htm
files.
In IIS, I right clicked on the default web site and clicked on the ISAPI
Filters tab. I added ".htm" and chose
"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll" as the
executable.
