>Hi
>WOW. What a busy form ! How many objects in it?

Not really busy. Its like a grid that has sixty rows - except the rows are containters with textboxes. Its a docket or schedule pegboard. The user adds the objects or sub-containers (all the subitem containers look the same) - up to 60 with text/edit/combos on each one. Each sub-container provides for entry of a docket (or scheduled events). The user, by right clicking for a popup or hot heys, can add,delete, move or copy and paste (an existing docket).

I had thought about doing it with a grid - but I could not get that "peg-board" effect.

It's also all PRG (forms and clases).
FORM (resizable with horizontal and verticle sliders)
--- Main container (about 6000 in height) - form sliders affect its position
-------Sub containers (provide entry for "dockets") about 100 in height
Not even a save button - its all automatic. I can send you a set of folders with an exe if you want to check it out!

But - by using sliders (and not the form viewport w/scroll bars), I was able to "scroll" a form container [way] beyond the limits of screen resolution as imposed by viewport.

>>Just following Cetin's notes: You could place a container in your form and use a slider or scrollbar to get the same effect. I have used a 6000+ tall container with a slider to affect top and left.
