There's code that gets called from the form's Refresh that loops through all the controls, checks for a value in cShowIf and if present, evaluates it to set the control's Visible property. We don't move controls around when some are hidden, though.

Do I understand correctly is that in your case when a control Visible is set to .F., there is just an empty space on the form?
