borderless form automatically resizes?
Another approach would be to specify the form size in the Form_Load
sub...that way you could force the size and location of the window.
I also found that sizing and moving a window with .Visible=False is
problematic. The workaround I use is to start with the form not visible,
then do a SuspendLayout, make the form visible, relocate/resize it and then
ResumeLayout. While it seems like hoops to jump through, I'll do it until
it's fixed (whenever that is)...
