Can you give us more details of how you created the app? Did you use
AppExpert, or your own hand crafted Owl (5.1?), or did you use the Win32
directly?

I've never had a problem of that sort with Owl code. I did write a Win32 app
and found that I needed to adjust the client size when the main frame window
received the WM_SIZE event.

Maybe the best thing is to make a small sample, upload to your account or to
attachments and let the masses look at it.
