Richard I don’t think you had that command in 5.5. They used to have several layouts with different sized graphics just so they could use the ‘size to content’ command.
But this is in my memory: Open the file locally with full access (no server) on both platforms. Make the window the way you want it, and then go into define fields. You don’t actually have to define a field, but you have to do enough to make FileMaker save the window info into the file. Does that ring a bell with anyone?

What controls where a window will appear? For example: Open first data file and its window is in upper left corner of the screen. A script in first data file opens a second data file. The window for the second data file appears in the middle of the screen. I would like all windows to appear in the middle of the screen. OK, I know the following works on a Mac, but I won’t testify to its behavior under Windows, which IMHO does bizarre things with its windows. Howsomever, a little experimentation should enable you to zero in on the desired behavior. Script the “go to Layout X” command and in that script insert a “Move/Resize Window” step. That step doesn’t offer an explicit “center on the screen” command, which is what you really want, but it does allow you to specify window height, width and upper-left corner position.
