kewl so what are those other properties that you set? If I have two text
boxes on my form and set the top textbox anchor to left, right and top - and
the bottom text box anchor to bottom, left, right - they get this big gap in
the middle when the form maximises. How do I get it so the two text boxes
look proportinally the same size no matter what size the form?

Thanks for your suggestions. sorry for my slow uptake.
