Hi Gerry

I understand what you are telling me but it does strick me as a little strange that it works differently on a form. The default scalemode is pixels so I would expect the control to use pixels even when it is not contained on a form.

I guess I will just have to ensure that I only assign integer values so I avoid this conversion process.

So if what you are saying is indeed try then this is NOT A BUG but simply the way VFP works.

Thanks,
Simon
