[2005] URGENT - How to deal with multiple monitors
My development system has two monitors. When I build and distribute my application users with one monitor sometimes don't see all the forms on their screen or the main form starts up off of a single monitor screen making it look like the program never loaded except for the task bar item.
How do I handle making sure when my program is first run and all forms will start up center screen and center parent on the main monitor?
Thanks!

Have you set their StartPosition property to CenterScreen or CenterParent?
Re: [2005] URGENT - How to deal with multiple monitors
Yes, I have. Here is an example of an issue:
1. Run program
2. Splash screen shows on screen #2
3. Main form shows on screen #1
4. Open up the preferences form and it show on screen #2.
I need some way to really keep the forms in the center screen or center parent.

Pay attention to the width of your forms and make sure to keep them within the width of the resolution that your customers are using. Remember to leave some space for taskbars and scroll bars.
