Hi Reuben I use an NVIDIA card also What you are requesting is Driver dependant - though the NVIDIA Driver manager does Allow you to select what screen you want an app to open on. Be wary though.... I had it happen once that I did some development work on a 'not centred' form Whilst I was in an NVIDIA 'wide screen' kinda setup. When the form was opened at the customers place the form open up 'off the screen'. And of course it was set to modal so I had to CTRL ALT DEL Did some very quick editing (Using the scroll bars to go 'off screen') drag the form back, edit something (I moved a label) and save the changes in the middle of the customers only screen So...bear this in mind when opening, designing and moving 'not centred' popup type forms between screens. What I do now is....all my form design work on the left screen (I have that screen as monitor 1) and all my code work (monitor 2) on the right. So it shouldn't matter when I am at my customers with 1 screen See ya - hope this helps DD -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Reuben Cummings Sent: Saturday, 13 November 2004 4:46 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] OT - Force apps to open in same place It's an Nvidia card.

My Matrox G400 and my nVidia FX5200 cards both have desktop manager software that allows me to specify which screen an app starts in. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Reuben Cummings Sent: Friday, November 12, 2004 10:05 AM To: AccessD Subject: [AccessD] OT - Force apps to open in same place I am using split screens for the first time (I use my laptop screen plus a flat panel for more space). My question is this: Is there a way to force apps, like Access, Outlook, etc., to always open on the primary monitor? It's possible to have Access on the secondary monitor and close it over there and then open Access and it will appear to be not open. I want to avoid this. Thanks.
