Finally found some large reviews of Helm after about two weeks of searching the loft <g>. And yes it looks very good and has a few things I'm really looking for. The reviews were of version 1.35. Is this the latest or is there a newer one. If so which, also at what price is Helm direct from you in $ (dollars) for UK shipment? Another point is to do with page (book?? screen??) changing. Would I be right to say Helm includes fades (image processing effects) between screens? Does this happen as the second image is been compiled for display or does the user still have to watch the page building on screen etc? What is the "Chart" objects purpose. I'll re-read the reviews to see if there are other points I'd like explaining further. Onto another idea that I'm looking into. I'm looking to include a function for the user to draw a polygon and from this to calculate an area figure for the polygon, based on pre-defined measurments, maybe for each pixel. Although I haven't started coding for this, what features does Helm have that might help in this matter. Thanks for all the help Jerrell, all these "form", "page", "book" terms are a little confusing as I can't relate them to anything yet, but at least I can get some idea by asking about what I need.
