Never touch a different applocatiion's resources. You are asking for trouble. What you should do is create a Form the size of the list you want (with no title), create a list in that form at coordinates 0,0 and popup the form. You can create the form and list dynamically, with FrmNewForm & LstNewList for maximum usability. Set the Form to SaveBehind, so that there will be no need to redraw. Good Luck, Lionscribe
