I'm glad I started this thread. You have some VERY good
uses for a ToolBar. I especially like the 'last update' &
papper clip ideas. I know the Toolbar could be powerful
but I was looking for a spark on how to use it effectively.

I think Michel (sysop) said something about 'The Best Toolbar'
competition' & the winner gets a free pizza! =;+)

But seriously, what your doing sounds extremely good. How
do you handle the fact that the Toolbar cannot get 'focus'?
Does this get in your way or have you found a work around?

Much Thanks
Tom
