>Thanks Sergey, I looked at alert.prg but it requires foxtools and I'm trying to limit what is distributed with our app to keep the size as small as possible.

>I have created a form that works well, however, I need to be able to resize it and its objects based on the size of the message. I have a label that holds the message and the message is passed to the form and displays correctly. However, I would like to resize everything based on the length of the message. I know the label height should be approximately 17 X the length of the message divided by 60, but the below does not work:

>THISFORM.label1.caption=lcmessage
>lblheight=(LEN(lcmessage)/60)x17
>THISFORM.label1.height=lblheight
