Walter, I eventually got this sorted.

Yes, you do need Chr(13) + Chr(10) on each line which I had .

It was the following which needed to be done:

The ObjCode field on the Scx , as well as having the 'Actual Object' code, also holds some pointers to the data in the Properties field

This is why, even though I was amending the Properties field,it seemed to be seeing only the ORIGINAL no. of lines in form designer.
Following got round it:

Change Properties field
Replace all ObjCode with ""
Close all
Compile Form MyForm

The Compile recompiles the form and fixes up the properties

Regards,

Gerard
