Try it - with a PictureBox with BorderStyle set to FixedSingle

Private Sub Command1_Click( )
Me.Print Picture1.Width - Picture1.ScaleW idth
End Sub

You should get 60 printed - eg: 4 pixels

Actually I was being obscure
- the ScaleWidth property is rather different from the Width property
- changing the ScaleWidth property directly changes the 'ScaleMode'
- it is like changing the ScaleMode from vbTwips to vbPixels
(like, but not exactly that - look up ScaleWidth in the Help File)

To adjust something to have a desired ScaleWidth you _must_ attack it
through the Width property
- hence

Borders = Width - ScaleWidth
or
Width = Borders + ScaleWidth

Obviously the ScaleMode must be the same ...
