Tracy, I think there are a lot of little creature comforts that I can see setting if I can get this process to work correctly. And because I'm automating the creation of those startup files, it is going to save me a lot of time on the multiple projects I go through on an annual basis. However, at this point I'm keeping the code as simple as possible to try and figure out what is going on.
FYI in case those reading this thread, I use Thor and I have tested this with and without Thor as the default startup program. No difference. Paul H. Tarver Tarver Program Consultants, Inc.

I am not seeing the behavior you are talking about. In my PRG, I do reset the location and widths of the windows I have open. Properties, Document View and DataSession are docked together. Then the Command Window is docked under them. These are all docked to the right side of the screen. I have this because I will occasionally remote in to my computer. The laptop resolution is smaller than the desktop. Tracy Pearson PowerChurch Software Paul H.
