I have a script that opens a related record and spawns a new window. I give the new windows a smaller size than the orginal and place it in the centre of the screen.

Strange thing started happening though.... and I don't know why. This was not happening originally.

The original window and the new window BOTH shrink to the new size. I have tried to freeze the original window as the first step and this did not help.

Any ideas?

Yup, there is another post somewhere on this forum that address this problem.

I think the answer is to resize your original window to something other than maximized before you open a 2nd window. I've had this problem too and I believe that I got around it by making the current window 1 pixel smaller in each direction before opening the next window.

Any idea on about when? I've got a similar but semi-reverse problem.

In V6. From Main, execute external script in Sub-file. This script displays a reduced window, using Restore Window, then returns to Main, with original window still maximised (again using Restore Window because I'm using a generalised Return script which might return to a smaller window.)

In V7, after conversion. Only changes in scripts are the changes in notation/wording. The sub-file window is now maximised and, on return to Main, the window is restored to the size I originally had for the Sub-file window. If I check the Sub-file via the toolbar Window command, it is sitting there at its correct size!

No wonder I'm grey where I'm not bald.

Here's the post that I referred to:

Ted, Thanks a million. I forgot about that bloody virus, Windoze. Should have twigged when, after messing about with my FMD Db, I found all the other windows I had open were maximised - and I never/rarely use maximised non-app windows.

Thanks again.
