>>I was wondering if it is possible to incorporate some sort of animated effects on VFP forms, like when a user clicks on something >>on a form that will cause the form size to enlarge to show more controls, and I would like for the form to kinda let the user "see it >>grow" and not just pop out instantly.

At it simplest, you can add a timer control to a form, and get the .timer() event to gradually increase the size of the form.

If you want to get more flash, search here for examles of transparent forms and you can use a timer to gradually change the transparency so the form appears out of the background.
