The objects in the container are set absolute. This keeps labels and buttons tight with the grid that resizes. Tracy -----Original Message----- From: Richard Kaye Sent: Friday, March 13, 2009 8:37 AM The help file spells that out pretty clearly. Of course, I scratched my head for a while until I noticed this. The anchor uses the location when the object is created. "If you want to base anchoring on the control's current position after it is has been moved, reset the control's Anchor property to 0 and then back..." My biggest gripe with anchors is I can't get it to work 100% to my satisfaction when the form layout is a bit more complex. For example, I have a form that is set up in a semi-columnar way in that I've get a couple of grids stacked on top of each other on the left side and then a bunch of text boxes and labels on the right side. When the form is stretched vertically, the grids resize perfectly but I'm having a hard time getting the objects in the lower right quadrant to move as appropriate while still maintaining their positions relative to each other.
