Thanks Ed, I'll check that out for future reference - what I have done is 
set the position relative to the position of the form. I just want to tidy 
up one aspect of the control (currently you have to select something to get 
rid of the floating panel) and then I'll post my code for the info of anyone 
who wants to do similar. I'm also destroying and recreating the control each 
time it is used - that way I don't have to refresh the data if any records 
have been added or deleted.
