   Randy:   
      
   Hope you get this.  I am the one that wrote regarding trying to get my boss'   
   computer screen to fit my program (rather than the other way around).   
   Thanks for the hint.   
      
   I went to the link provided for enumeration of the display.  I tried the   
   program in VB6.0 and it worked (while I had it as a stand alone).  I   
   modified it so that the Public Declare statements and variables were in a   
   Bas Module.  Then I put the procedure to find out what the start up display   
   is in the MDI form of a program.  It worked.. I put it the same way in my   
   program and it did not work.  It keeps stopping and telling me that the   
   "hDC" is an undefined variable.  Yet, "hDC" is part of the Public Declare in   
   the Module.   
      
   Do you have any idea why this is happening?  I've gone to the vb site with   
   the script on it and left a question, but still have had no response.   
      
   Hope you find this and have a suggestion.   
      
   Thanks
