A big thanks to BvG and Mark for your replies. Not only did BvG provide the "quick and dirty" answer:
on opencard revUpdateGeometry end opencard ...but both BvG and Mark provided sample code code for handling resizing on your own. Thanks! I really appreciate it, guys! -John On Nov 4, 2011, at 7:44 AM, Mark Schonewille wrote: > Hi John, > > This really depends on the situation.
