Thanks for the reply.
Yes, you are right, I did have setting intWad and intHad in the wrong
place. I have now moved them to after setting the width and height of
the first frame, since all frames will be the same size. 
I knew about the BorderStyle property, but could not find any
reference to finding out the amount of the frame the border took up,
ie. is the border at 10% of the height from the top, 20%, how do the
position, height and width of the frame within the  border relate to
those of the entire frame, what are the position, height and width of
the border wrt the frame, how can you find out? The idea is to fit the
image control within the border with borderstyle 1.
How I have done it works, but it does not seem a very 'elegant'
solution.
