It did the trick. Thanks.

At design time it will still pop back to 117 but at run time you can set any size you want in the init event

>>Placing a vertical strip image to the right border of my form I want my form look like a thin vertical strip after clicking on this image ( Sort of panel collapsion to the left/expansion to the right which we can see in Netscape Navigator. )
>>The thing is even in designer you are not allowed to have the form with the width less than 115 pixels ( main reason seems to be to feet icon,min/max/close buttons... ) Making all this false doesn't change the imposed limit. Am I missing something ? If not, is there way to create something like this in VFP ?
