Readers may be interested to know that one of the "ten best new features" (imo) of Developer 2000 v2 (Forms 5?) is a new treatment of labels. They will now have more "object" properties which will allow you to specify that a label should be (for example) centered and flush against the top of the text item. It may not seem like much, but when you spend as much time as my development team futzing with the alignment and sizing functions, it will be gratefully received.
