There doesn't seem to be any really usable material to help beginners. A recursive design approach seems best, breaking down each grouping, but I have sometimes found it difficult to adapt a design to changes. Although I'm a big fan of open source I must confess that to solve this problem I eventually bought a copy of wxDesigner, which while not perfect does help quite a lot, and allows cut/copy and paste of design elements. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Love me, love my blog http://holdenweb.blogspot.com Recent Ramblings http://del.icio.us/steve.holden -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
