Form View Question

[Craig McPherson]

There are many ways, here is one:

local newWindowRect
newWindowRect=rectanglecenter(
      info("WindowRectangle")  ,
     rectanglesize(1,1,9*36,3.5*72))

setwindowrectangle newWindowRect,
     "noHorzScroll noVertScroll noPalette"
     opendialog "Return Authorization Form"

/* If you leave the setwindowrectangle with the last parameter blank  
you will retain the scroll options and palette*/
in that case it would be:
setwindowrectangle newWindowRect,""


You can also use OpenForm instead of OpenDialog...if you use  
OpenDialog, you will probably want a CloseWindow button on the form
