is there a way that the form will be fixed in its location, it can't be move
anywhere?

I'm hoping you have a really good reason for violating a standard UI
rule? Users expect to be able to move the forms on their screens,
immovable forms usually do little more than tick off your user base.

Just a warning :-)

In the Form_Load event, set a couple of variables to the Top and Left
Form properties.

In the Form_Move event, set the form's Top and Left properties back to
the values stored in the variables.

Doesn't look pretty, but you can fix that by setting a flag in the
Form_Move event, and resetting the location in the Form_MouseUp event
if the flag is set.
