Good try, it almost works. The controls
get all skewed when you set the form to
sizable and then resize the form.

In your form, you have this form level declaration.

Dim fw1, fw2, fh1, fh2 As Integer

Please note that fw1, fw2 and fh1 will be variants and not integers. Only fh2 will be an integer. To have them all be integers, the declaration should look like this:

Dim fw1 As Integer, fw2 As Integer, fh1 As Integer, fh2 As Integer

I read your about author and your web page reference is gone and these two sentences are very disturbing: "Dangerous - You will get to know me quite well in the near future

I am one person you will not intimidate and the one person who will make your life as difficult as possible." Contest winner with this attitude?
