Hello Steve, I was just compiling a reply to this when Rob beat me to it! He's given the technical answer, but here's a rough-and-ready example using a label.
I noticed that the label disappears when you click button2, so you may have to mess around to bring the label to the top each time the button is pressed. There's probably a more elegant way, but I can't just think of one!

It doesnt seem to work for me (no idea why) Question #2: Can the font and color in Button objects be chosen? Many thanks in advance for your help, it is greatly appreciated Steve ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
