<p>We are sorry to hear about the problem you have encountered.</p>
<p>Which version and build of Moneydance are you using?<br>
To check, open Moneydance and select Help --> About Moneydance</p>
<p>Generally you could try the key combination <strong>Alt –> Spacebar –> M</strong> and use the arrow keys, to see if you can move a missing dialog back on screen.</p>
<p>If you are running <strong>Moneydance 2022</strong>, you could navigate to <strong>Extensions->Manage Extensions</strong> and install the Toolbox.</p>
<p>Launch Toolbox and navigate to <strong>Toolbox Options</strong> (on top left corner) and select -<br>
<strong>Update Mode</strong>->Yes->Do Back Up Now (recommended) Finally choose the Menu <strong>General Tools</strong> Update Functions-> <strong>Reset Window Display Settings</strong>.<br>
You may want to restart Moneydance for the changes to be applied.</p>
<p>Please let us know if you have further questions or need more assistance.</p>

<p>Version 2022 4</p>
<p>MD puts dialogs & child windows onto the primary monitor where they can<br>
then be mouse dragged (or [Alt+Space] | [M]ove | [Arrows]) to a<br>
secondary monitor. Closing and reopening MD yields mother and child<br>
windows again opening on the primary monitor until each is moved to a<br>
secondary monitor. After that the relocated children will reopen where<br>
they were last moved. Shutting down MD and restarting again (or OS<br>
reboot) puts everything back onto the primary monitor.</p>
<p>Your toolbox walk-thru yields the same results as above after completion<br>
and a program restart / OS reboot.</p>
<p>I surmise, without much certainty, that MD is somehow overriding Windows<br>
10 OS positioning functions in some way - programs that have no<br>
awareness of the possibility of multiple monitors (from Windows 95!)<br>
reappear on the last monitor they were closed from.</p>
<p>This is NOT, by any means, a "Deal Breaker - it's just annoying. To the<br>
point that I've written keyboard macro's to trigger and move dialogs to<br>
my preferred monitor - that I use exclusively with MD.</p>
<p>Thanks again and any further guidance would be greatly appreciated.</p></div>cascaddantag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/552285822022-08-03T19:47:46Z2022-08-03T19:47:47ZMD can't handle multiple monitors<div><p>I think you will find that this behaviour is intentional. It was changed with ver 2022.3 (4073)<br>
See change log at link below.</p>

<p>There used to be an endless stream of folk complaining that the prog had locked. Folk would attach a 2nd monitor and usually put the Reconcile Window on it. Later they removed the monitor which resulted in cries for help here that the program was unresponsive.</p>

Losing a window on a cluttered desktop ain't fun.</p></div>cascaddan
