I would suggest (although I'm not shure wether I understood correctly your problem or not) to have something like this: * Two tabpanels, both of same size and place. The first one will be the one that will allow the user to customize options for your 'old' printing formats. * The second tabpanel will be used by the user to customize options for your new printing format. * On top of those two tabpanels, just place two radio buttons (or a menu button or whatever you will feel relevant). If you select the first radio button, just hide tabpanel2, and show tabpanel1. If you select the second radiobutton, hide tabpanel1, and show tabpanel2. Hope this help;) _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
