Craig, Thank you very much for the advice. You really helped me as I was trying to determine if there was a combination of geometry manager and programming to accomplish this. I will focus on the resizestack message and follow your advice. This seems a lot easier with your explanation.
Appreciate you taking the time to help me. Much appreciated! Warren On Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 9:46 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > I have never used the geometry manager.
