You probably didn't add the new Line control to the Controls collection of the object onto which your drawing. For instance, if your drawing on the surface of a Form (not a picture box!), you would have to add the control to the Controls collection of the Form:
Dim WithEvents myLine As Line
Set myLine = Form1.Controls.Add("VB.Line", "myLineControl")
myLine.Visible = TrueThe
VB.Linemight be a bit different. Check in the Object Browser (F2) to see what the exact name of the control is if notVB.Line. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
