the following example uses a frame (frame1) with a command button (command1), label (label1), and a text box (text1) with each of the controls (frame, text box, label, and command button) index set to 0 (zero).
[tt]
Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()

'load the new controls
Load Frame1(1)
Load Command1(1)
Load Label1(1)
Load Text1(1)

'set the containers position
Frame1(1).Left = Frame1(0).Width + 30

'set up each of the controls so they are in the same position as the origional
Set Command1(1).Container = Frame1(1)
Command1(1).Left = Command1(0).Left
Command1(1).Top = Command1(0).Top
Command1(1).Visible = True

Set Label1(1).Container = Frame1(1)
Label1(1).Left = Label1(0).Left
Label1(1).Top = Label1(1).Top
Label1(1).Visible = True

Set Text1(1).Container = Frame1(1)
Text1(1).Left = Text1(0).Left
Text1(1).Top = Text1(0).Top
Text1(1).Visible = True

'show it all at once
Frame1(1).Visible = True

End Sub
[/tt]

You should put the frame1(0).left/top = 0 and make it large enough to hold each of these controls.

Good Luck
