>>>>>I had a similar problem with a form when I tried to place a grid's right edge too close to the right edge of the form. I couldn't track down whether the form size was changed as the grid was opened or saved. And I don't remember exactly how many pixels "too close" was. Shrinking the grid solved my problem.

>>>>Appreciate the response, I saw the other threads after my post -- so I did try to re-size everything so nothing was close to the edges (grids buttons etc) --- still had the same problem.

>>>Darn. Sorry.

>That is wierd. I almost always close-and-save using CTRL-W (we're showing our FPD roots :). I've never seen the behavior except the time I mentioned when I had objects (a grid) too close to the edge.

>Wait, I just noticed the other similarity. When I had the problem I'd set TitleBar to 0. (Basically I was trying to save a form which was just big enough to old the grid on it, so the form wouldn't be visible and I could "lay" it on another form. Before I went too far with that I realized how stupid it was. Maybe I shouldn't admit here where no one else has done anything stupid before ;)

>So maybe if you have a title-less form, Ctrl-W widens it. FoxPro guys (i.e. Randy Brown, Robert Green) is this by design somehow? Does Ctrl-W mean "widen" in some contexts? (Doubt it. If so, it shouldn't also mean "close and save".)

Rich,
One additional note -- if you open the form and click multiple times on the titlebar property -- you can watch the form grow.
