Vinod,

is the line you need a Line Control (part of the standard VB controls) or do
you
paint your line yourself using Me.Line?
The AutoRedraw property works *only* if you are drawing the line by
yourself,
and in that case you have to draw it in the form Refresh event (not in the
Load)
or set AutoRedraw to True.
But from your description (the line get distorted) it could be a problem
with
your video card, and you are indeed using the Line Control (please correct
me
if I am wrong). Which kind of distortion do you get?
