Hi Pranav:Good to hear that. Things are a disaster over here. My portfolio is down 25 percent at least and that is after I bought my stocks when they were already down about 20 percent - sigh.

Hi Rick, The economy is a tad shaky. The hotel industry is predicting lost revenues and a major bank is making some noises about exposure to the subprime but other than that, things are still ok so far. It is the festivle season here so local demand should be able to sustain many industries. <grin Pranav On 10/6/08, Ricks Place <OFBGMail@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi Pranav: Sorry, typos and I did not delete some junk, getting sloppy in myold age -grin.

We are looking at it and I will write up a step by step blurb and post if I get it working. I just tested out the Table Layout Control with Windoweyes. I had to just tab to the Table Control and blindly drop a label and textbox on it. They were put in the first row Row 0 column0 and column 1. The properties for each control tell what row and columnit is in. I could not modify the control size properties but am going to see ifI can change the row and column settings in the properties window to putonecontrol on top of the other, ie. row 0 column 0, row 1 column 0 insteadof the default of row 0 column 0 row 0 column 1.If this works this would be one way of positioning controls with a tableand not relying on the Forms Designer other than as a container to blindly plop controls onto. I'll post up in a few minuts.

What I would like to do is be able to lign up say 3 label textbox controls so theyread properly and look ok by using something like the flow panel control or table layout control or something else. What about the Anchor control property? Can I anchor based on another control somehow?Whatabout docking, sounds interesting? If you have done this cool, if notI will start Googling them to see if anything pops up that might make this process easier. I use Windoweyes so working in the forms designer and with the TableLayout control has not been something I could do since Windoweyes willnot read the table nor cells in the designer so I have no clue where todrop labels nor textboxes to get them into the cells correctly. I willlook at the properties for a table layout control to see if I can do something there but not likely since I can't drop anything into the Properties Windo itself but might be able to put the name of a label or textbox control in the appropriate cell, if the cells are properties of the bloody table layout control and it lets me do that. Sorry, Allot of options but I have not found the slam dunk yet so am just asking how you guys have done positioning. Absolutely no substitute for experience when it comes to accessibility issues and visual challanges.
