Thank you Eugene for your reply. I did what you suggested and it still doesn�t work. I notice something that is very interesting. When Builder loads my project in Win2k system, the width/height and ClientWidth/ClientHeight is one set of numbers. When the Builder loads the SAME project in XP, the width/height and ClientWidth/ClientHeight are different then the numbers in Win2k system. Is this because Builder 5 is not quite compatible with XP?
