SYMPTOMS
When the Movable Property of a form is set to False (.F.) in design mode, the form cannot be moved from its current location.



CAUSE
While you are creating a form with the Form Designer, the form is considered "live." This means that visual and behavioral changes are reflected immediately in the design mode of the form as well as during run time.



WORKAROUND
Add all the controls for the form first before setting the properties that will control the behavior of the form.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
The following steps illustrate the effects of setting the Movable property for the form in design mode.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Create a form.
 * 2) Set the Movable property to .F..
 * 3) Try to move the form while in design mode.
