Q1 ??? Q2 Create your own "Show" Procedure eg ShowTheForm(AParam: int); The procedure sets the form variables calls other procs etc... NB: The form must already be created (it can be done with a class method but you can't work with the Form properly eg setting its data-members.) Q3 can you set the width to "0".
