Description

Queries screen height.
FileMaker's built in functions for returning related information only works for the "desktop" and may include more than one screen in a Multiple monitor situation. Also Get(WindowDesktopHeight) returns the height of the desktop not the height of the monitor. The desktop height does not include the height of the menu.

For version 7.1 we added support for multiple monitors for Windows.
