Re: IBM i Access windows don't save size

This has some merit, Charles. Between yours and Evan's comments, I suspect I'm going to have to try a more controlled environment using specific folders and pointing my sessions one at a time until I get repeatable results. Can't today, because as a result of the 7.1 upgrade I'm dealing with QTVDEVICE jobs gone wild which make it difficult to even connect a 5250 session, much less play with configurations.

I have to wonder if whatever method you're using to start the session
is pointed to the .WS in the default location instead of the custom
location.

Hi Joe

I had to mess around with creating some new sessions yesterday so took
the time to take a look at this to see if I could duplicate what was
happening to you. I;m running 7.1 on Win 7 64.

What I did find was that if I saved the ws files into a directory of
my choosing I lost the font and window size information. If I saved
them in the default location this information seemed to persist as
expected (in other words it was retained).

Out of curiousity I took a look at the client access properties in the
control panel. There is an option in there so set the directory for
the profile files, and also a check box that toggles whether to save
the window size with the ws profile filies.

Maybe that will shed a bit more light on what is happening for you.
