  Microsoft in all their wisdom. created "Snap Assist" to auto arrange our 
windows

  Try adjusting your Windows from auto snapping your windows.  If you don't 
like this just redo these steps.

  Windows 10
  To disable Snap Assist (Windows 10) launch the Settings app from your Start 
Menu. From the Settings window, click System. Find & click Multitasking in the 
column on the left. Under the “Snap” category on the right set choices to Off. 
This will disable Snap Assist in Windows 10.


  Windows 7 - to stop window snapping
  Open up your Control Panel, and then go to the Ease of Access center. From 
there, click on “Make the mouse easier to use”… And then remove the checkbox 
for “Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge 
of the screen”, and then click the Apply button to actually save the setting

Re: [LegacyUG] Window size

[Cathy Pinner]

If you can't resize your Legacy window, check the window options next to 
About on the ribbon. If your database isn't fullsize in the Legacy 
window (as it isn't when you use SplitScreen) when you try to resize the 
window, it bounces or can't be changed.


Note also, if the text is a bit fuzzy in Windows 10 for Legacy or other 
programs (and I think this is only a problem on laptops with high 
resolution screens) right click on the Legacy program icon and choose 
Properties. Then on the Compatibility tab check Disable display scaling 
on high DPI settings. I've had to do this for a number of programs and 
suddenly everything is crystal clear again.

Re: [LegacyUG] Window size

[Martha Graham]

Hi Pat,
I have the same problem and basically, I just keep at it until it 
cooperates. Moving the downsized window to the left a bit seems to help.
I think part of the problem is that some features do not compress very 
well. The index is one of them. The size of the columns and the amount 
of data in each one can make a difference too.

Wow! Thanks! All these years Legacy has come up and a small window and
had to be resized. I never knew it was something that could be fixed.

RE: [LegacyUG] Window Size

[Brian L. Lightfoot]

Thanks, Sherry. You'd think that after all these years I would have remembered 
that those settings were written to a Legacy USR file. Of course now, in 
looking at the data in any of the USR files, it is merely a long list of 
values. I sure miss the old days when programs used .INI files. At least a user 
could make sense of those because they usually carried the name of the 
parameter followed by its value. Sigh.

RE: [LegacyUG] Window Size

[Mary Fowler Leek]

Brian,

Manually resized the Legacy window to about ½ of the monitor screen. My window 
size remains the same size, following a close and reopen.

The only place I can find where a setting might dictate the Legacy screen size 
was where you can set Legacy to display two open files side by side, not 
something that would likely apply to your situation.
