Thanks in advance for the help...

I'm sure most of you know that if you press Ctrl-F in the VFP IDE you get a
"Find" window.

Is there any way to move the Find window using the keyboard? Those of you
that are curious as to why I would need to do this can read the rest of this
message.

I have two monitors connected to my PC and there are times when I use
gotomypc to work remotely. gotomypc only displays one of the monitors (the
one on the left) and I usually keep VFP on the one on the right. I have no
difficulty moving VFP itself using the keyboard but the Find window always
re-opens in the last place it was opened which in this case is on a monitor
that I can't see.

Thanks,

Jeff

Once you have activated the find window with Ctrl-F you can then

Alt-SpaceBar {ENTER}
Now use the Left-Arrow key to bring the Find Window to the Left window -
press {ENTER} when you have it where you want it.

Did that work for you? Doesn't work for me because the Find Window is not a
standard "window". I tried it in VFP8

It works for me, but I am using VFP 7 - so it may be different. Also, it may
be operating system dependent - I am using XP.

You're right - it works... I am a keyboard dunce :) I had pressed ALT then
space which selected the main foxpro window. If I had followed the
directions right the first time, I would have pressed ALT and space which
does exactly as you say. Thanks for setting me straight!!
