2 monitors and 1 MBP: How to control the second screen in Lightroom?

[nutsnbolts]

Hmmm...
Currently here is the setup I have.
17" MBP --- 24" ACD --- 24" Dell
I essentially have 3 screen going across and basically when working with Lightroom, I use the 24" ACD as my primary screen (right in the middle). Whenever I click on dual monitor in Lightroom, the second screen shows up on my 17" MBP.
1. Shouldn't it show up on my right (24" dell), which is what I prefer.2. How do I go about moving it and making it default to my right?

I can't answer your 3 monitor MBP question, but LR does not know what to do with three monitors. I have encountered the same issue in Windows and you can search the topics to review those discussions. The best work around seems to be to resize the "2nd" LR window and drag it to the monitor you want, the enlarge that window to cover the full screen area iof that monitor.

The only issue with resizing the second window is that I don't see a resize button anywhere or a even a minimize/maximize button. The main LR window has it but not the secondary window.
Any ideas?

Make sure the main window is not maximized, then just drag the corners of the secondary window. (I'm only running one monitor right this second, so I can't actually test, but that's how I remember it working on my older multiple monitor system.)
