I think the window-size is not saved anywhere; it is just some percentage of the maximum screen size. But: normally, windows-applications save there screen sizes etc. in an INI-file. You can do the same, by saving the runform screen size on exit of your session, and reading it again on startup. You can add your entries in an INI-file by using USER-exits in WINDEMO.PLL (but you should then copy WINDEMO.DLL to F45XTB.DLL etc, and don't forget to do this for your users as well, with EVERY upgrade of Forms); better is to use the PLL, used with the (DEMO) application DLL; it contains a foreign call to a dll (winsample) to read and write INI-files; see the file DLL.WRI in your FORMS45\DEMOS directory. If you want to know more about the foreign calls, check out the demo-directory FOREIGN, with a VERY USEFULL applcication FFIGEN.
