Thanks Mike - I had a look at the link - they have some useful classes that I think I would like to incorporate...
I think if I am honest - I need to learn a whole lot more about VFP - I have had problems with incorporating active x controls - toolbars, coolbars etc - and also I have big problems with things as simple as menus... (take to long to explain!!!)
I also came to the conclusion that all my apps would have s fixed window size and fixed form sizes because of the crazy stuff you have to do to get controls to resize on forms etc... It has not been for lack of trying different approaches either - as I say I am still fairly new - and often frustrated!!!
