>I received an email from Timothy asking how I was able to get all the textboxes on the form. Basically all I did was expand the form to the largest design size and then use the Property sheet to manipulate the objects. Since the relevant objects were actually available to the form - just not visible below the bottom - I was able to select each of the Textboxes and associated Labels from the Property sheet and manually type in a value for the Left and Top properties, thus moving the selected object to a visible position on the form. I increased the Top property by 20 for subsequent object so they would be placed below one another.

Renoir, thanks for the help, VFP was being unkind to me after all. Even the form wizard does the same thing if you have alot of fields. I guess forms can only be so big.(even though scroll bars should compensate)
