Thanks Chad for your answer. So, since it is better not to lock the size of the box containners, how can I garantee the right size of the boxes? For example, I was playing around with it and tried out a tipical windows environment design, withe a menubas on top, a vbox with a button box of a toolbar reght bellow it, a status bar on the botton of the window and in the middle, enough space and forms for inputting information (like to create a directory of companies and their adresses) inside a scrolling box. But but I just can't get the size of the button box (toolbar) and the middle scrolling box right! How can I fix it? As for printing, what do you suggest in your email? (sorry, newbie to it all and trying to understand this new world). That means I can't send the reporting directly from the application to the printer? As for the images, please could some one explain if PHP is really limited to xmp images? If not, what are the best formats I can use and how? If so, does that mean I have to insert the ascii code for the image inside the application? Or are there any software to convert other image formats to xpm on windows?

Locking the tables or spaces so > the design we create looks always the same? I can't answer the rest of your questions, but for this one: no, that's considered harmful. Translations, themes, user configuration (font faces and sizes), and probably more variables affect the size of text to be laid out. It's probably possible with an image-only design, but that's not as generally useful. For something to be printed, you should probably consider using an actual page description language like PostScript or possibly TeX (which I am not so familiar with). -- Chad Daelhousen My opinions are my own, until UB purchases my soul. __________________________________________________________________________ Acabe com aquelas janelinhas que pulam na sua tela.
