I am having some difficulty in making a form of greater size than the
screen resolution. I have researched the matter and it seems that
creating forms that are larger is simply not possible. I am therefore
using scroll bars to navigate up and down the form. My form has many
similar data entry "areas" each containing the same controls and input
boxes. These appear one after the other vertically on the form, and all
but the first are hidden when the form is loaded. There are 23 in total.
When the user makes a selection that requires further input they are
presented with a further data entry area.
My problem is this: When the previously hidden controls at the bottom of
this large form become visible (this only occours when they are created at
positions greater than the screen resolution) the controls appear at
increasingly large intervals, with open areas of space in between them.
They are adjacent on the form, and I am unsure why they are behaving like
this. Any help would be very much appriciated.

ACK, that's not possible.

Did you set 'AutoScroll' to 'True' to enable scrollbars on the form, or
did you add your own scrollbars?

I have managed to replicate this behaviour extreemely easily in a new
project. I created a form, made it very long and thin and then added 6
large buttons one under the other in a column. I then set buttons 2-6 to
be invisible. I then set the button click sub for buttons 1-5 to make the
i+1 button visible. Finally I set the form's autoscroll attribute to true
and shrunk the form so that only the first button was visible.
The behaviour that I observed was obscure. The buttons increase in
distance from one another as each button is pressed (later buttons having
a larger distance to the following buttons than earlier ones). Does
anyone know what could be accounting for this strange behaviour?
Many Thanks

Well it's not just you.
I have reproduced the behaviour you are seeing.
However, I do not have an explanation yet.
It certainly seems that the Location property is all out of whack.
