John,
        Thanks for your reply, this will work, but it doesnt quite meet my
needs, i need something that actually allocates the screen area for itself,
and everything sits below it. even if you try to move an object or page over
it, it wont let you.

Someone said i'd have to use native methods, i believe there is some code
around to do it, its way beyond me, so i'm hoping someone out there has done
it and could put me on the right track.

Thanks
