David,

    There is a real easy way to do it. Unfortunately, I don't have AOL
anymore but I found an OCX there called Gradient.ocx. All you had to do is
put the control on the form and you have a gradient titlebar going from
black to blue. If I knew where I put the control, I would send it to you. If
you or anyone you know have AOL, do a search for gradient.ocx.
Hope this helps.
