I've been using dual monitors for about a year now (absolutely love
it), but have run into a weird situation with Access 2000 lately. I
loaded a database on two PC's that do NOT have dual monitors, and when
I try to open 2 different forms from this database, it looks/feels
like nothing is happening. If I look in the window list, the form IS
open, but the user can't get to it.
I open the same database at home on my two monitors, and the forms
that are "hidden" are actually opening up on my SECOND monitor.
(Outside the Access program window).
I changed the properties of the form to auto-center, which then opens
the forms in the same window.
Has anyone run into this?
It could be that at some point I stretched the program window to fit
both monitors, and Access is saving the start position of the form?
But wouldn't one think that it wouldn't do that??
Thanks in advance!

I use two monitors as well (I'll never go back to one) but Yes, Cindy, I
have found that unless you Move the form (query, report, etc) back to the
Primary monitor, they will open "Off Screen" on one monitor machines.

Cindy,
I had similar issues with my Matrox Parhelia dual head graphics card a
while back. A driver update, along with some carefull reading of the
driver display options, resolved the issue.
Just a thought, good luck.
