I realize there are workarounds for the issue I�m going to describe below. However, I�m not interested in a workaround, so please save yourself the time and energy it will take to come up with one. I just want to know if others have the same problem or if I�m doing something wrong.
If I�m not doing something improper, and there�s nothing wrong with my system, is this something Alpha developers can fix quickly and easily?
Many of my applications were created for personal use. Since I can quickly navigate through Alpha on my own, most of the time, I didn�t create a main menu screen. However, in the past couple of weeks, I decided to add a Main Menu form to all of my personal database apps. They�re all virtually identical, each one is relatively small and is displayed in the center of the screen.
That�s the good news, here�s the bad news. When I click on a Main Menu option, which of course takes me to a data entry form [usually maximized], do whatever I have to do on the data entry form, close the form, and then return to my Main Menu form, things have somehow changed.
Instead of being centered the way I left it, the form is almost always displayed in �FULL SCREEN� mode. It�s as if my little menu form inherited the properties of the data entry form, which was maximized. The text is displayed in the upper left hand corner of the screen and it looks extremely tacky.
I can of course click on the little box in the upper right hand corner and that will resize the main menu form, once again returning it to it�s original position, centered on the screen. I realize this is not the greatest issue facing Alpha users, but I must admit it is very annoying.
Any comments or suggestions that do not involve work around?
Thanks,
Robert T
