Try using Bins

We do use bins in each of our warehouses but unfortunately this still won't really solve our problem.

Anyway, I contacted Dydacomp directly because I was sure that we must just have been doing something wrong, it seemed like such a basic request for a warehousing module that I thought we must have a setting slightly wrong somwehere, however they have told me that the warehousing module that they sold us for warehouse stock management doesn't actually have the capability to do warehouse stock management. It seems there is just nothing that can be done about this. They recommended that I add it to a "wishlist" for future versions of MOM. The odd thing about that obviously is that it assumes we'll be buying future versions of MOM!

Finally got a call back from Dydacomp today and spoke to someone called Luke who turned out to be REALLY helpfull. I thought I'd supply the solution here in case anyone else should ever experience the same problem.

He sorted a bunch of our other problems too but solved this by using DBUWIN to edit a file called "formpref.dbf", this contained the "left" and "top" values for all the different forms used by all the different users. Somehow the form in question had a negative Ntop value which was placing it off the top of the screen. Resetting this value to "0" repositioned the form in the correct place.

And if you select "Cancel" to close the box, it reappears this same was when you lookup again?

Unfortunately yes, regardless of how I try and open/move/close etc the form always appears in the same place. It isn't causing too much of a problem at the moment because the rest of the fields/buttons on the form are still accessible but there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it so far and its driving me crazy!

Temporarily change your screen resolution in Windows to make it visible.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried this and all that happens is that the form stays in it's relative position.

Anyone got any other ideas?
