Trouble moving or resizing objects

I am using VB6 Pro SP6 on Vista Home Prem. My problem is after I put an
object on a form I cant move it or resize it unless I change the Left, Top,
Height, or Width in the Properties pane. There must be a simple solution but
I have not found it.
Thanks
Kevin

Sounds like you have locked the controls.
In the IDE, right click the form, click 'Lock Controls' on the popup menu.
Does that help?

That was it. I have never used the lock before but I knew it would be simple.
Thanks for the help
