Terminal Services and main menu problem

br0ck

Here is the setup:
Windows 2003 Server Terminal Server w/ Citrix
Navision 3.7b SQL Client Windows intg/Auth
1 user with chronic main menu problem

The user has an issue where she logs in and the main menu is in the top left corner of the app window. there is no way to minimize / maximize mouse click etc.. to move the window in to a usable position. the only solution (for now i hope) is to delete the .zup file

Any ideas / Thanks in advance

Some dirty trick:
Put in the OnOpenForm, some code:

IF ((currform.XPOS <= 0) or (currform.YPOS <= 0)) AND
    (USERID = 'TheUser') THEN BEGIN
  currform.XPOS := 1000;
  currform.YPOS := 1000;
END;

Another trick, one which does not require code:

Press Alt+- (hold down Alt key and press the dash key). This brings up the window context menu (same as clicking on upper left corner). Select Move and use the mouse or cursor keys to move the window.

And another "trick" is resize the window with mouse and right-bottom corner of the window, the window title bar will be partially visible after that and you can move-maximize the window now.

This is problem when user is accessing the TS from different desktop resolutions. Try to limit the used resolution for TS session to one fixed settings.

I had searched for that one, but I didn't find it, so I invented a programmatical way.
