Hi,

Does anybody have a formula for repositioning a window in the middle of the
screen?

Many thanks,
Andrew

Andrew,

You would use the Move/Resize Window function. For the Distance from
Top, use the following calculation:
(Get(ScreenHeight)/2) - (Get(WindowHeight)/2)
and for the Distance from Left, use this calculation:
(Get(ScreenWidth)/2) - (Get(WindowWidth)/2)

Hope that helps.

You don't say which version of FileMaker and I'm not sure if there's
anything new in FileMaker 7, but older versions of FileMaker don't have
the ability to move or re-size the window. If you want the window
centred on the screen you'll have to do it by manually dragging the
window into position. FileMaker will then save that new psotion (at
least it does on the Mac, I'm not sure about Windows).

There may be some plug-ins around that allow you to manipulate the
window, but I can't recall any and they're usually expensive anyway -
is it really worth somthing like US$50+ just to centre a window??
