Hi Don, <<I haven't heard of a problem with having a problem with 2300-2400.>> Hum, just a tad tricky to decipher, but I think you are refering to the VB bug that causes an Overflow Error if you try to draw well outside the range of a VB Picture Control. I'm surprised this is not a 'registered' VB bug at MS Headquarters because it was reported a long time ago and is very easy to reproduce. 1. Start a new project and place a Picture Control and a Command Button on your Form. 2. Change the ScaleMode of the Form and the Picture Control to Pixels. 3. In the Command Button's Click Event place the command: Picture1.Line(0,0)-(3000,0) 4. Run the program and click the Command Button. You will get an Overflow Error. Note that we are working in pixels, Win3's native dimension. Assuming we only vary the X co-ordinate, the value at which VB generates the Overflow Error is a function of *both* the Picture1.Width and Picture1.ScaleWidth. Play around with both the Width and ScaleWidth, and you will find that the value of the largest X co-ord that does not create an Overflow Error will vary. KeithF
