   That will work, as long as you use it only on the form frm_key in this project,   
   and change the name in the code when you use it in another project.   
      
   Ambient.ScaleUnits is a property of the Ambient object, which tells your user   
   control a few things about where it has been placed. It could be inside a   
   picturebox, for instance. ScaleUnits is a text string that lets you know if the   
   container is using vbTwips or vbPixels, etc., so you could in principle write   
   some code that would work in any form or container in any project.   
      
   However, one of the nice things about just using the source code where needed   
   is   
   that you can tweak it for each situation, which is often easier.   
      
   Another possibility you might look at is making your control Alignable (its a   
   property), and then in your code, setting its Align property to say   
   vbAlignBottom. This would make it stretch automatically when the form was   
   resized.
