Topic: Position of Forms

Hello Dmitry,
Hope you are well.  This is my scenario.
I have a simple application where the main form (Form1) is less than full-screen.
When I first run the application, Form 1 is centred on the screen (see dmitry languages 1.jpg). 
I move Form 1 - for example to bottom right of screen. 
I then open Form 2, but this is centred on the ORIGINAL location of Form 1 (see dmitry languages 2.jpg) and not the NEW location of Form 1. 
What I am trying to do is have Form 2 (and all the other forms) centred on the NEW location of Form 1 (see dmitry languages 3.jpg).
Can you suggest a way to achieve this (in effect, centring forms relative to their calling form)?
Thanks, as always, for your help.
Derek.

Re: Position of Forms

Hi Dmity,
I just wasn't sure if there was a very easy way around the problem.   I'll add your code to my script and see how it works - but generally, I'd rather avoid writing to the registry for a non-critical problem - and having to manually move the forms is certainly not a 'show-stopper'.
Thanks for the quick response, as always.
Derek.
