Well, you don't need to do that in VFP. You can add/remove/modify objects at runtime based on data. A dynamic screen is anything that changes based on changing circumstances as the user "uses" things. A good example of that is a tree view with nodes that open listboxes full of data. The lists are dynamic, IOW they don't exist until you know what is in it, created on the fly as we say. Then imagine a treeview that allows the user to add items. Then the treeview is dynamic and so are the lists it creates. So, if you can do that, then perhaps you can create a completly different looking form every time the data that builds it changes. You could say, a form that remembers it's size and position is "dynamic". HTH
