Agreed. I was not using regions on this form, but may do that. I am using grids which can scroll, but may have to give scrolling regions a try. I can't see a use for that kind of "correct" behavior, so have managed to hide them (apparently there is no "show scroll bar" in grids, at least I haven't found it).
Thanks for the input.
