Hi Cetin,

What are 3*2 4*2 constants here? Are you sure it's 6 and not 8? My Grid has only vertical scroll bar now and it works fine. I'll try now to make it thinner and see, if horisontal would work.

In the meantime this is the code I wrote:

if type('this.parent.'+this.cHostName)="O" && The parent object is already instantiated
     local lnScrollBarHeight, lnScrollBarWidth, loObjectToCover
     lnScrollBarHeight=sysmetric(5)
     lnScrollBarWidth=sysmetric(8)
     with this
          loObjectToCover= evaluate('this.parent.'+.cHostName)
          .top=loObjectToCover.top
          .left=loObjectToCover.left
          .width=loObjectToCover.width - ;
               iif(type('this.parent.'+.cHostName+'.ScrollBars')='N' and ;
               inlist(loObjectToCover.scrollbars,2,3),m.lnScrollBarWidth,0)
          .height=loObjectToCover.height - ;
               iif(type('this.parent.'+.cHostName+'.ScrollBars')='N' and ;
               inlist(loObjectToCover.scrollbars,1,3),m.lnScrollBarHeight,0)
     endwith
