>>Fred,
>>If you set scrollbars at design time then even if you add controls at run time (in init or later) scrollbars work. However there is a glitch even if the controls are there they're not seen till a sizing is done or they get focus.

I do like this and works.
lnWidth = WidthWhereRightmostWouldBeVisible
lnHeight = HeightWhereBottommostWouldBeVisible

with thisform
 .Lockscreen = .t.
 lnSaveWidth = .Width
 lnSaveHeight = .Height
 .Width = lnWidth
 .Height = lnHeight
 .Width = lnSaveWidth
 .Height = lnSaveHeight
 .Lockscreen = .f.
endwith
