Scott;

Just a few thoughts but no solution. It has been about 4 years since I used VFP 5.0. In VFP 6.0 you would simply set the scrollbars property. It seems like someone did this with VFP 5.0 though perhaps using an Activex control.

Would resizing the form help? You might have to determine the users screen resolution and allow forms to fit within the allowed area. If your form is much larger than the users monitor viewable area you might have problems getting to the scroll bars without restricting the size of the form to the viewable area.

Good luck.

Tom
