You are not missing what I am asking. When I resize the form
I get scroll bars but when I try to scroll the shapes redraw in the
original position but the scroll bars have moved - the thing just
does not look or behave correctly. I will look at your project
and see if it is different than mine and see if it shows what I
have done wrong.
