>Hugo gave you easy way -- simply do it graphically. You double-click on the Anchor property to bring up the Anchor Editor, then you can graphically configure by clicking on the "bars" surrounding the object -- the "bars" cycle through values of "absolute" (gray), "relative" (black) and "none" (unfilled). The value for the anchor is displayed, as well as description.

I have a similar problem and trying to figure out if I can use anchor or should code resize method instead. I have a few controls at the top of the form that I don't want to resize / change position, then I have an editbox, then a label underneath and then below another editbox. Both editboxes should be the same size and should resize with the form. The label beneath the first editbox should be always at the same position below that first editbox or just above the second (it's a description for the second editbox).

UPDATE. Went ahead with the Resize method.
