Thanks again for the suggestions. I'm using ASP with a MsSQL database, all of this i can use with no problem. After what you've said I think a server side system would work better this way people will always get the same setting whatever computer they are working on. I just have to figure out how to get all the details I need from each element, height,width, top, left and hidden/shown into the database
