David,

Thank you for your time and help, which (gripe) wouldn't have been neccessary if the people who wrote the documentation had bothered to mention the fact that resize works differently for toolbars.

I tried it with a form before going for the toolbar, but it doesn't have the look and feel that I want. The toolbar seemed like a good idea, because it gets 'embedded' in the form and it's closeable.

I'll think of something else or just live with the facts.

BR

Peter
