Grid and pack cannot be mixed within the same parent widget. This may or may not be a frame. It could also be a canvas, or other such widgets. It is possible to mix parent widgets which have different geometry managers. So yes, your situation with having two frames with different geometry would work. Just be sure never to mix the managers within the same parent widget. Otherwise all creation comes to an end 8-O ----- --------------------------------------------------- "I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here.
