Hi, Didn't get anyone to bite on my previous query about this, so I'll try it a little different way. I have a form we'll call frmMyForm. I want it to be in a certain position 6000 twps from the left edge of the window and 1200 twps from the top edge of the window. If I put the DoCmd.MoveSize 6000, 1200 in the On Activate event of the form and call the form from some other form with a command button that has in its On Click event the DoCmd.OpenForm frmMyForm, all is well. The frmMyForm opens in the desired position. However, if I double-click the icon for frmMyForm in the Forms container, frmMyForm opens in a slightly higher position - about 400 twps higher, as a matter of fact. Why? I've tried my DoCmd.MoveSize in every event I can think of that should launch frmMyForm in the correct position - On Open, On Load, On Resize, On Current, On Activate, On GotFocus - no go. It works fine if called by code attached to some command button, but it does not work when the frmMyForm icon is double-clicked from the Forms container in the Database window. Why? What am I doing wrong here? Thanks for any assistance. Tina
