>What version of FoxPro are you using? I'm using 6, and I created a test class that displays a message in the Resize event. I then created an instance of that class and played with the WindowState property. Every time I changed it, the Resize fired. So, to backtrack, what you have done should work without having to explicitly call the Resize.

The only place I could be overriding it is in the Resize method of the form, correct? And I'm not doing that, the resize method is empty... Hmmmm maybe I'll put a DODEFAULT() in there just for kicks...

Thanks for your help
