VB Scrollbar Question

I have a innerpicture in a outerpicture on a form and the innerpicture is bigger than the viewing size, I want to be able to center these picture on a form and use the scrollbars to move the innerpicture around so I can see the whole thing when I scroll, without the inner picture bleeding over onto the outerpicture, anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

oops, change the Form_Resize

Private Sub Form_Resize()
picOuter.Move 0, 0, Me.ScaleWidth, Me.ScaleHeight

If picInner.ScaleWidth > picOuter.ScaleWidth Then
HScroll1.Move 0, picOuter.Height - (picOuter.Height - picOuter.ScaleHeight) - HScroll1.Height, picOuter.ScaleWidth - VScroll1.Width, HScroll1.Height
HScroll1.Max = (picInner.ScaleWidth - picOuter.ScaleWidth)
HScroll1.LargeChange = HScroll1.Max / 20
HScroll1.SmallChange = HScroll1.Max / 50
HScroll1.Visible = True
Else
HScroll1.Visible = False
End If

If picInner.ScaleWidth > picOuter.ScaleWidth Then
VScroll1.Move picOuter.ScaleWidth - (picOuter.ScaleWidth - picOuter.ScaleWidth) - VScroll1.Width, 0, VScroll1.Width, picOuter.ScaleHeight
VScroll1.Max = (picInner.ScaleHeight - picOuter.ScaleHeight)
VScroll1.LargeChange = VScroll1.Max / 20
VScroll1.SmallChange = VScroll1.Max / 50
VScroll1.Visible = True
Else
VScroll1.Visible = False
End If

End Sub

And make sure that picInner.AutoSize = True
