Oh, I forgot to mention - the way I created the multi-line bar was to insert a *Format command, with NewBarRowLine parameter after the icon that was the closest to the right hand side of the monitor. This meant that the first icon that was off the side of the screen (and all the icons following it), were moved to the next row. One other thing that bothered me about the floating toolbar was that I wanted a bar that would fit easily right along the top of the screen (which the full screen entry does). With the floating bar, you have to drag the size to fit the screen, and then remove the 3d frame tick so you don't accidentally resize it later. Of course, if you then change your screen resolution, you have to again resize the floating bar manually, whereas the full screen bar does it automatically. -- Regards, CM Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
