Thanks, the newobject is what I was looking for. Now I just need do figure out how to set the top and left for each object as I draw it. And of course make it visible. Is there a way to address a form object with a macro?
the following doesn't work
for x = 1 to 5
thisform.shape[x].left = x*10
thisform.shape[x].visible = .t.
next x
Thanks for your help. 3*'s
