I have look at Calvin's solution, but have tried it yet. Thanks for the heads-up about forms inside VCXs.

>Yes. I did some checking and you're right. This fix is not about the border repaint issue. I assume Calvin's code does that, but again, you need to remember to fix the order of items in the property field whenever you save a form - new or existing.

>I notice also that Calvin's code (I'd only use it as a one time run) only fixes the properties in an scx file, and doesn't do anything to the forms within a vcx file. I don't know whether it's necessary or not. I assume it isn't a problem with inherited forms, but I'm not sure about instances of those form class objects using createobject() and form.show()

>>>>>Agreed, I thought SP2 was mostly about Vista compatibility. I've tried it on a laptop and desktop, and the bad behavior happens on both unless I turn off Aero. I'm astounded that they didn't fix this. What were they doing all this time? So now the best case is that I have to remember to run Calvin's utility every time I create a new form (thanks to him for the utility, though!)
