Do you mean using two forms next to each other? Do you want them automatically aligned?

What I've done in the past is adjusting the xpos and ypos of the form and the width and height so that they where exactly on the correct position when they opened.

This can be hard defined in the properties of the form or dynamically with C/AL code CURRFORM....

However, I'm not doing that anymore. In reality endusers work with different resolutions and full screen or not. The sizes that endusers set the forms to are saved in the zup file and used the next time they open the form.

I hope this helps you a little on your quest.

I have a user that want to compare to BOM's side by side. He does this alot. He can do this manually, but it takes time. The problem in this case by "hard defining" the properties is that it is two copies of the same form, not two different forms.

As Mark said, you can make this with set of xpos and ypos on form.

You need to make two subforms and make coordinates for them, e.g.:

-first subform: XPos=110; YPos=3850; Width=12980; Height=7700

-second subform: XPos=13090; YPos=3850; Width=12980; Height=7700

...

I made the same forms, but this is bad idea.

Hi,

how about making a dedicated "compare" form with two subforms side by side? The trick is to choose a fitting source table for the main form, your alignment problem is (nearly - dont know about horzglue=both for both subforms) solved this way.

with best regards

Jens
