If you are using VB4, the form does not have a StartUpPosition property.  However, there is an easy way to center the form at startup.  Simply copy the code below into a module in your project. You can then center every form by calling CenterForm(me) in the load event of all forms. Public Sub CenterForm(frm As Form)     frm.Top = (Screen.Height - frm.Height) / 2     frm.Left = (Screen.Width - frm.Width) / 2 End Sub
