Setting a location of screen on a dual screen monitor

Hi,
Trying to set a working area for a dual screen .
The form opens on Screen2 rather than Screen1.
Any suggestion on how to open on the same screen as the MainForm

FrmMain : is the Main form
Code: 
  With Frm2
                       
                        .StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual
                        workingArea = Screen.GetWorkingArea([b]FrmMain[/b])
                        .Location = New Point(workingArea.Right - Size.Width,
                          workingArea.Bottom - Size.Height)
                        .ShowDialog()                      
                    End With

Open in new window


Thanks

Also this should work-

Form2.Location = FrmMain.Location

Open in new window

ps.  To find out what happens with your current code you ought to use a breakpoint and single step to CHECK just what you get as values of the main forms location and what you are putting as values for the location of Frm2
