      From: liz@paradoxcommunity.com              IMO, the resolution is less important than storing the app size and       position when the user closed it. This way you can always open the app       in the position and size the user prefers.              That said, look at sysInfo() in ObjectPAL help - it has resolution       information. (I only use this to determine whether or not to maximize       Paradox. If the resolution is 800x600 or less, I maximize; otherwise, I       explicitly size and position it to take up a portion of the screen.)              FWIW,              Liz                     Bjorn Sagbakken wrote:       > Thanks a lot Liz,       >       > In the back of my head I was discussing with myself something like that.       > With your pin-pointed information I tested this with success.
