Hi Cindy,

Trying to keep vertical border the same size but stretch the controls vertically. This is basically a FORM with a fixed Border (3/4" top,left,bottom,right) and the some controls need to stretch vertically 1 or two lines without stretching the border. Can that be done?

Thanks.

Also on the Add,Edit, etc. buttons subject:

Cindy,

Thanks for the info. I realize that you can't always have your cake and eat it to. But how many times must we re-invent the wheel? These are simple things that Microsoft should provide in their wizards to help newbies sail along a little faster. I have a very simple framework for DOS FP 2.6 that creates the needed code for the standard add,edit,delete,next etc. Don't know exactly what to do to use these with the FORMS. (What does the FORM do to control Record pointers,record locks,release etc.)

I use the Wizard for setting up the Blank Form and would like to add the buttons to Add, Edit, etc.

I was sorry to see Microsoft purchase FOXBASE. But Microsoft has done a lot to make it what it is today. But I not sure if Microsoft will continue enhancing VFP. One thing about programming is that a byte needs 8 bits and that hasn't changed.

Again, Thank you very much for your time.
Roland...
