- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0, on platform(s):
   - the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT

SYMPTOMS
========

Changing the ScaleMode property of a form does not change the numerical value of
the partition of a grid.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION
================

When changing the ScaleMode of a form from pixels to foxels or vice versa, all
the dimensional properties of the form and controls on the form should reflect
to the new ScaleMode.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Create a form.

2. Add a grid to the form and make its Width property 400.

3. Increase the Partition property of the grid to 200.

4. Change the ScaleMode property of the form from pixels to foxels.

Look at the numerical values that should change when the ScaleMode changes, such
as width, top, left, or height of the form and the grid. These values change,
but the partition value of the grid remains the same.
