Who on the planet would have any idea what this means ? Instead, what we should have is list only available options in the combobox, and when the user tries to change it, don't allow it to be changed back. So the combo box entry shows something not in the list initially. This is not a *great* idea at all, but it's the only workable one IMHO. > Apart from that, only some entries in the "View" menu and some > "File>Export" entries would have to be greyed out in case a text class > is not available. That's all. Doesn't sound too complicated, does it? That bit's OK I guess. john -- Khendon's Law: If the same point is made twice by the same person, the thread is over.
