I found the following with pretty much does what is wanted -

Code:

'NOTE:  This code should be executed within the UserForm_Activate() event.

Private Declare Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "User32.dll" () As Long

Private Declare Function GetWindowLong _
  Lib "User32.dll" Alias "GetWindowLongA" _
    (ByVal hWnd As Long, _
     ByVal nIndex As Long) _
  As Long
               
Private Declare Function SetWindowLong _
  Lib "User32.dll" Alias "SetWindowLongA" _
    (ByVal hWnd As Long, _
     ByVal nIndex As Long, _
     ByVal dwNewLong As Long) _
  As Long

Private Const WS_THICKFRAME As Long = &H40000
Private Const GWL_STYLE As Long = -16

Public Sub MakeFormResizable()

  Dim lStyle As Long
  Dim hWnd As Long
  Dim RetVal
  
    hWnd = GetForegroundWindow
  
    'Get the basic window style
     lStyle = GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE) Or WS_THICKFRAME

    'Set the basic window styles
     RetVal = SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE, lStyle)


End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
    Me.Picture = LoadPicture("P:\Test.jpg")
    MakeFormResizable
End Sub

But as the Form is resized it flashes white rubbishy stuff while moving. Is there any way to stop this?
Thanks.

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Hi,

You can always test : Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Hope this can help

I'm not sure where that instruction should go. I tried a couple of places made it sort of made it worse... left multiple shadows and the flashing
on the image remained.

Do not know the complexity of your code ...

Have you tried at the Initialize level ...?
