The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

If you display a Visual FoxPro ActiveDoc form in a restored Internet Explorer
window after it was started when the Internet Explorer window was maximized, you
will notice that the left side and top of the form is cut off.

RESOLUTION
==========

Steps to Resolve
----------------

1. Press ALT + MINUS SIGN to expose the control menu of the form.

2. Choose Move.

3. Using the arrow keys on the keyboard, move the form window down until the
  form displays properly.

Another way to avoid this is to set the AutoCenter property of the form to False.

STATUS
======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

3. Place the following code in the ContainerRelease event:

        CLEAR EVENTS
