I have a little problem with my forms, i can stop users resizing them, i can stop users closing them and i can keep the focus on them, but i can't seem to stop users from moving the form window around. Although the form window is maximised it can still be moved. Even though i have hidden the max, min and close buttons; double clicking on the title bar restores and maximises, while dragging the title bar moves the window, is there any way to stop that happening?

You could set the BorderStyle to 'None'. It looks odd, but they won't be able to move the forms. However, there are ways to design the form to make it look less like one of those hairless cats--which is what comes to mind when I see a form without a border.

Yes, but acDialog has serious side effects that most often are not desired, I caution against using dialog mode only when that's exactly what's needed. For instance, all other code stops and no other forms are focusable, which, however, is most desirable if you want the dialog form as a homemade input box, but most other times you want any code to continue and other forms to be activatable.
