Got it!!!

I left the forms .ScrollBars = Vertical and set the .Height = 1000 which is bigger than required making the scrollbar dissappear. In the .Init I then set the .Height = 500 and .Top = 1 putting the form to the correct size and causing the scrollbar to display. The .Width stayed at 695 and was not adjusted. PHEW!!!

Thanks to all of you for your insight which definitely got me digging in the right places.


>Colin,
> I see what you mean. It's the same problem that I had but from a different control. Last night I remembered that I finally fixed the problem by setting the title bar off in the init. Setting the width did work as far as running the form but the actual width of the form kept growing after each edit. I would set the scrollbar property in the init if that's possible in your case.

>>>Colin,
>>> I had the same problem. Found out there is a bug in VFP 6.0 if you turn off the Title Bar (TitleBar = 0) it does what you are seeing. I fixed it by simply putting a command in the form init - Thisform.Width = nnn. The init happens last so it works every time even if the titlebar is not your problem.
