Take a look at MoveSize in the help menu. Place the code in the On Open
event, or maybe On Current or Activate, depending on how you will be
navigating to the form. Try 500,500,8000,5000 for starters to get a sense of
the sizes involved. Calculations are possible, but trial and error works
well enough for occasional use.
