I'm sure you already know that setting the lockloc of the grp to true keeps the group from resizing on the card. I do now, Chipp; but it would never have occurred to me there was an issue to deal with until I learned group location depends, in part, on which controls are visible. Thanks, -- Rob

The rect (and therefore the loc) of a group changes every time the visible property of a group control with part of its rect outside that of any other group control is changed. Eureka! If I ... lock screen show [a control whose rect encompasses all other controls in the group]

2. A resizeStack handler which changes the loc of the group, but does not address any controls in the group. Clue 2: The rect (and therefore the loc) of a group changes every time the visible property of a group control with part of its rect outside that of any other group control is changed.
