I have VFP 6.0. The form I designed have a limitation say 800x600. I want
to design a form that like a web page which allows users to scroll the page
down by clicking on the scroll bar on the right edge.

Can VFP 6.0 support it ? or which version can support it ?

Yes VFP supports scroll bars. Take a look at the form.ScrollBars property.

I try the form's property Scrollbars. It works but it has limitation on the
form height Is it possible to have unlimited form height just like a real
web page opened by a browser ?

Sorry I don't understand what you mean. Please rephrase.

I set the form's property Scrollbars to vertical bar and I can find a scroll
at the left edge of the form in the run time.

Then in the design mode, I set the form's maximum size to 1600x1200 which is
the maximum size of the form available and set the form's WindowState
property to maximize. I can have a larger form for me to add objects on it.
However, I want to add more objects in the form and I cant enlarge the form
anymore. It seems that the form size is fixed (1600x1200). Can I have a
form without this size limitation ?

OK now I understand. If you go to Tools | Options | Forms, you can specify
(None) as maximum design area.

There's definitely a maximum form size in VFP.

I have to ask this ..... WHY would you do this to your users? It seems like
an incredibly user-hostile interface. <g>
