Then you could get the height setting from the label and apply it to your textbox. Maybe you'll have to add some extra pixels to the height, since the textbox has an inner and outer border. And ... use a textbox, not an editbox. This way you get rid of the scrollbars (as Chris already suggested).

Hi Armin,

Humm... I was thinking of a label originally, but wasn't sure how to keep the width from growing. Perhaps setting both the autosize and wordwrap to .t. as you suggest will do the trick. I like the idea of the invisible label too. When I get back to work on Monday, I'll report back. Thanks for the ideas.
