Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

        The negative numbers will take the xdlg off the screen. No need for "+" or "-" since you cannot have negatives.
        The 0,0 position will put it at the left-most upper corner of your screen. Start from there and choose the desired position.

          yes, i also confirm such code work accordingly, now i am back to my basic ADO dialog, unfortunately it is still not able to move it, remain in the center of the display/

          The attached simply a converted ado_dialog, i place the position right after or before the region, not making any different.

          so there got to be something that preventing it from moving

              Well, you got me,

              I started with Genie,

              * Xdialog Window
              * create "display xdialog Form based on ADO/ODBC data

              this form or dialog form, finally showing the data that i want
              i managed to alter few thing, however i need this form to be
              perfectly lined up on the left side, not middle of the screen/

              so i play with the {position} command, in hope to achieve
              the attachement above was the set of codes generated by
              the genie/

                If you are opening a form as an xdlg, go to the form in design mode, check the Window and place it where you want it to be and save the form.

                I have to leave now as I have important business to attend to.. I will get with you later.

                      Ken,
                      You said earlier that 'you didn't like the position of it. Maybe it is time you posted a screenshot of what you are seeing so we can see it to. Form opened as Xdialog or Xdialog?

                        yes, this is the look of the screen, staying in the middle of the form

                          What Genie? from where?

                          Never mind..I found the Genie you are talking about and it's supposed to display Access files or other external DB.

                          I don't have Access (or I might have it and don't know) so I am not able to do any testings. I will see if I could come up with something..
