on my pc evrything goes perfect but but there are some users that get's an error

error 9 run-time
subject

the error is not complete because he don't get it anymore it is just not reacting anymore can someone help me please

[Dave Bleby]

Error 9 is a "Subscript out of range" error which means that you have tried to reference either an array element in an empty array or an element index that is greater than the Ubound limit of the array.
You need to put some error trapping into your code.

All the best,

Dave.

[davyquyo]

the program works perfect with so many users why does it not work with these 2
the load script is executed completly i'm sure of that
but the does not show form1

[MartinLiss]

I have three words of advice: indent, indent, indent.

[davyquyo]

i found the problem

it seems that the form was show outside his screen
how can i lock the settings so even how big his screeen his it's always in the right upper corner

[MartinLiss]

In Form_Load

Me.Move 0,0

[trisuglow]

Marty's code does top left. This code does top right. Take your pick.

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
  Move Screen.Width - Width, 0
End Sub

Oops, you're right.

[davyquyo]

Move (Screen.Width) - Width, 750
Move (Screen.Height) + 750

for me this is the exact location but is this good for every screen or not

[trisuglow]

If you use a literal value of 750 then your form will always be displayed this number of units (not sure if they're pixels or twips or what - doesn't matter) from the top of the screen. Depending on the screen resolution this value will be a different proportion of the screen height. I don't think the physical dimensions of the screen make any difference - it is only the screen resolution that matters. You will be able to test your code by changing your screen resolution from the Control Panel.

You may be better off deciding what fraction of the screen height you want the offset to be and then coding like this.

' Place form 5% of the way down the screen.
Move Screen.Width - Width, Screen.Height * ( 5 / 100 )
