SYMPTOMS
Toolbar options are inaccessible because they are positioned too far to the right and off the screen.



CAUSE
Visual FoxPro's toolbar engine is designed to check if any portion of a toolbar will fit on the current row, if not, it opens a new row. Visual FoxPro does not check to see if an entire toolbar will be visual to the user when docked.



WORKAROUND
Visual FoxPro toolbars are moveable and dockable. Position or dock the toolbar in another location on the screen, or change the video driver setting to a higher video resolution so that a larger portion of the toolbar will be visible to the user when docked.

NOTE: The following command positions the toolbar in the center of the FoxPro desktop only if the toolbar is not docked. It will not move the toolbar if it is docked: MOVE WINDOW " " CENTER



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



Steps to Reproduce Problem
 Start Visual FoxPro. On the View menu, click Toolbars. Select these toolbars:

Database Designer

Form Designer

Print Preview

Layout

 Attempt to dock each toolbar at the top right corner of the screen. Notice that Visual FoxPro allows a toolbar to dock even though all of its options are not accessible.
