If you are concerned about screen real estate, it is very easy, as I think you know, to minimise the ribbon until needed. Equally, from the point of view of the finished deploted application, it is very easy to "turn it off", if by that you mean not have a ribbon. So I really can't relate to what you're on about here. It is certainly the case that there has been no easy way to produce customised ribbons within your applications, without a fairly steep learning curve. I have seen Microsoft people acknowledge this, and one would be justifiably disappointed if this is not corrected in the near future. I'm sorry to just pick one aspect of your post to respond to, but that was the part that had me wondering whether you had given it a fair go. -- Regards Steve __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4193 (20090626) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com
