>Wish you were here to see what my code has wrought... <s> I think you just might say HEY!!! looks great.... kludgey but looks nice!! LOL... I just like the fact that my preview window comes up full-screen with only the single "Report Designer" title bar... and when this window is closed, my apps' main window is restored to its original size. I know the workaround code is not very elegant, but my app will be distributed out in the field to our department's clients... who would be totally confused by needing to maximize and resize windows themselves.... :(((
