      I have been programming in Fujitsu PowerCobol for 4 or 5 years. Now
using V6.
      I have a problem I've never seen before. I program and run on
      Windows PCs which are networked.

      I have a form created in a project. The form displays fine on my
development
      machine just fine (Win2000). It runs and displays fine on another
machine that uses
      XP. When I execute the program on another XP computer, the form
height/width are
      changed, and all the controls on the form are in mixed up positions.
Fonts are all
      mixed sizes. Buttons are mixed sizes. Just a mess.

      On that same XP computer, all my other forms work and are used every
day,
      so its not the runtime installation or the comptuter's hardware.

      The affected form works fine on other PCs, not just this one, so it
would seem
      the program itself is OK.

      Sounds like some kind of compatibility bug, but I've never seen it
before.

      HELP!
