I have been trying to center a form on Windows 2000 using the following
subroutine:

Public Sub center(Anyform As Form)
Anyform.left = (Screen.Width - Anyform.Width) / 2
Anyform.tOp = (Screen.Height - Anyform.Height) / 2
DoEvents
End Sub

However, the form ends up on the lower right of the computer when
autostarted during windows startup.

If I run it in development mode, it works perfectly.

In startup mode the screen.height and width seem totally wrong.

What is the answer? Any help would be great.
