Lou,
Um, have you tried using a TScrollBox (Additional tab)instead? It's basically a scrollable panel.
Alternatively, you could add two TScrollbar components to your panel and align them to the right and bottom as needed. Of course, this means you'll need code to maintain the positions properly and handle the actual scrolling process. All things considered, it's probably easiest to simply use the TScrollBox component. ;-)
Hope this helps...
