I can't seem to find the right combo of checkmarks for the following:
Monitor two to have the windows except when active and to have the location "sticky" i.e when inactive it goes back to the same place it came from. The active window to go to monitor one and return to monitor two after being acted upon.

I have inactive area check marks for all quadrants of Monitor 2 and no quadrants of monitor 1.
I have checked "Move active window"
I have unchecked "Keep active table in place, until moved"
The active window location is "top left" "monitor 1"

However, the active table is moved to monitor one but never moved back to monitor two after being acted upon. They just pile up in the corner of monitor one. What am I missing?

Make sure you have all checkmarks checked on monitor two, and none on monitor one (as you say you have [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]).

If you're using auto arrange, the tables should be arranged at monitor two in each corner. Please note that when using auto arrange, you cannot be guaranteed that a table will be put back into the same quadrant as it came from, MTH will simply try to find the most optimal spot, based on it's own algorithm.

If you want to be sure that tables are put back to where they came from, uncheck the auto arrange checkmark. The place the tables where you wan't them and start MTH. They should now be moved to and from the active location while retaining their old inactive location.

I haven't experienced any pileup of tables in the active quadrant, does this always happen?

Checkmarks are as indicated. Autoarrange is not checked.
*Always* puts the windows at top left of monitor one.

One odd thing is the monitor resolution indication in Preferences:
Monitor 1 1400x1050 (1400x922)
Monitor 2 1600x1200 (1600x1200)

No idea why the app thinks that monitor 1 does not have full scale resolution (it's a Dell Inspiron Laptop with Dell external CRT.

<<The place the tables where you wan't them and start MTH>>
Hadn't realized it was invocation order dependent. If I start a new talbe I should shut down MTH, rearrange tables and restart?

Regarding the monitor size, the numbers in parantheses is the actual size available, meaning the height of the start bar is subtracted.

The tables location (should) get be saved the moment the table is moved to the active table location. So you shouldn't have to restart MTH, but it can't hurt [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I tried "auto arrnage". The windows are arranged on monitor 1 inspite of the fact that monitor 1 has NO inactive areas and monitor 2 hasa ALL quadrants marked for inactive windows.

So, in the app does not seem to want to move windows to monitor 2 regardless.

Make sure you know which monitor is which--use the windows display "identify display" feature.
