All forms are generated by the same procedures, just different controls on them (but very similar) and different heights but same widths. One of the dynamically generated instances of the form is wider than the form width but does NOT display a horizontal scroll bar yet all the others that are wider do. This happens in 1024x768 screen-size mode. If I bump the screen res to 1280x1024, the Hscroll bar shows up (the form size is still the same).

FWIW, the SCROLLBAR property of the form is set to 3 (both) at design-time. I have tried to work around the prob by setting the SCROLLBAR property to various combos at run-time to no avail.

Thanks to all for the responses. It appears that the correct answer is that the max [OBJECT].left can be is < 2*ScreenWidth. This is a bummer, because I can't bump the users' screen res (already at 1024x800) and now I don't know what to do. In this case, the user actually "places" the objects on the form in a design-mode and I'm loathe to tell them they can't make their form as wide as they want because it's a form representation of a physical environment.

Any suggestions for a work-around? Is this "bug" being "fixed"?
