 Folks

Love the product and have been using it for years....  I have start buttons for Excel and Word on the taskbar at the bottom of each of three monitors.  Sometimes when I click on a start button on one monitor the program will open on a different one.  Is there a setting to force programs to open on the monitor fr om where they were launched?  I sometimes have separate instances of the same program running on two monitors. Hopefully how and wh ere I close them doesn't complicate the issue.

 Hello pcollier.

What our product (name, version) are you running?

Some our products have the feature - "Move at Startup to Monitor" and you can choose one the modes: Exactly Specified, Having mouse pointer etc.

Best regards.

 I'm running AMM version 4.0.

I played around with the  "Move at Startup to Monitor" option and it still doesn't do what I want.  All I want is the program to open on the monitor where I clicked the taskbar button to launch it.

With three monitors I have three taskbars and each has an Excel button on it.  Right now if I click Excel on the middle monitor it's launching on the left.  This is with AMM set to "Having mouse pointer" checked

 Hello pcollier.

Are you sure that the appropriate Window Settings are applied to the Excel window. You can check it in the log window (AMM context menu > Show log window > Enable logging > launch Excel and see the Rule/Exclusion column).

Have you tried the feature with other applications?

Best regards.
