Frank,
There is an old UI design guideline about not displaying more than 7 items. As I said though VFP6 does away with the limitation.
>I'll check this out...You may have it. I am currently working (trying to see 8 items... ) I've been banging my head against the wall for so long on this its numb. I'll check out with 7 or less. Sounds like a unfortunate shortcoming of VFP.
