I have sp2 and Sedna and still seems flaky there. Calvin's blog did make a lot of sense though. I am mostly reacting to a particular form that is part of the VFE interface behaving differently. My own forms (all created from VFE's form classes) so far seem fine. I guess the issue is where in the instantiation sequence the borderstyle property is set (earlier is better) Odd but interesting and if that is all it entails sound like no big deal (if I can just get Mike to recompile the application builder - just about the only thing in VFE I don't have sourcecode for <s>)

Try and if that does not work I will ask around here over the weekend. Also Markus Wingard has found a solution workable under SP1 IIRC. I just am not much of a GUI guy...

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
