Looking at my system coords now that I've moved the primary to the right, I see: 0: "Virtual", (-1600,0)-(1600,1200), Desktop: False, VGA: False, Visible: True 1: "\\.\DISPLAY1", (0,0)-(1600,1200), Workarea: (0,0)-(1600,1160), Desktop: True, VGA: False, Visible: True, Primary 2: "\\.\DISPLAY2", (-1600,0)-(0,1200), Desktop: True, VGA: False, Visible: True I'm thinking it may have to do with positive coordinate space? The monitor on the left now ranges from -1600 to 0 on the X axis! So is the driver just too stupid to consider that visible space? >> Huh. Well that just sounds darned cool!

I wonder if the Citrix app sharing is similar... Heh, well, I have no idea about MED-V either. But if I could run a remote app as though it were local, from any machine I connect to via RDP, I'd be a very happy camper. -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

I think there's some kind of toolkit for RAIL, I'll see if I can find where I saw it. -- Bob Comer "Karl E.
