Steve,

Is this line in the growing editbox?

>ThisForm.edtPurpose.SetFocus()

and is that control called edtPurpose? if so you are just pushing focus right back which will make it grow again.

Does this editbox basically consume the whole form when it enlarges? If so and there is nothing else to click on you'll have to use KeyPress to look for some special "I'm done editting in here" key. If there is some form space available you could use form.Click() to setfocus to some other control on the form to trigger the shrink back to normal for the editbox.
