>>I am trying to turn off form resizing, and have set the borderstyle on the form to 1. But i still get a form resizing control in the bottom right corner of the screen (running on win2k, using VFP8, sp1). I was of the impresssion that a borderstyle of 1 or 2 would prevent form resizing. I have placed the command "thisform.borderstyle =1" in the form's INIT and still no go. The form is modal with no max nor min button. I have turned themes off. Thinking the the borderstyle is getting changed somewhere, i placed a commandbutton on the form that echos the setting in a wait window. its still 1.
