Thanks, Rich. I agree with that. Most of the panels fit nicely in a fixed size, but one is much larger than the rest. I was thinking about maybe having
all stay the same size except the large one, but I now think it would make more sense to just create subpanels on the large one.
Thanks for your candor,
Ron

I don't have the answer, but a comment on what you propose. When I
visualize having the application frame change size as I tab
from one notebook
page to another, I don't have warm and fuzzy thoughts about
the designer of
this UI. I cannot think off-hand of an application that does
this. Text
windows will sprout scroll bars if the contents exceed the
view port, but
they don't expand and shrink under programmatic control.Let the user resize the window to suit her fancy.
