Excellent! That does indeed do the trick.
Many thanks Martin!
The online help says that Nil is equivalent to Parent. I assumed that the Control Parent was the Form. Is the help wrong?

nil is parent, but with different effects.
- nil keeps the design-time distance
- parent keeps borderspace distance

Thanks Martin,
A bit confusing, but I'll just remember to use Parent.
Cheers,
Frederick
