>>>Have a form with a scrollbar on it. When trying to place objects below 1536 (as a top) it just doesn't seem to work. Any known limitations to how far down on a form objects can be placed so the scrollbar will get to them?

Steve,
I bet your screen resolution is 1024*768 :) According to MS KB, those scrollbars were designed to support up to about *2 of resolution. That's any control with left * 2 > horizontal or top * 2 > vertical resolution causes scrollbars to vanish. Workaround is the hard question. MS simply says do not do it :) If you weren't lazy <g> I would say you could try tracing scroll events plus arrow movements to mimic a scroll (but we are not in DOS days anymore and I wouldn't do it too:). A dummy and hard workaround (but works) is to use grid instead of a form with scrollbar (VFP5 doesn't have form scrollbar:). Idea is to create a dummy cursor with enough records (dummy) to hold all form height and width (ie: if form would be screen*9 than 9-10 recs) and design a container for each. Dynamiccurrentcontrol would decide which one to show. Of course you shouldn't expect a smooth scroll but blocks of pages.
