>>After playing a little with the anchor property (which is very nice) I come to conclusion that for the most part the anchor is good for grids, pageframes, and forms that have editbox. On a form with an editbox you can make the editbox expand vertically. And for forms that have only textboxes and no editbox, I don't find this property much useful. Does it make sense?

This sounds very interesting. Since, from what I understand, anchor can only increase the textbox in length, how do you increase the height of the textboxes? And how do you handle automatic font increase? (if you don't mind sharing in general terms).

Thank you.
