<<I am developing an app in MMtoolbook to be used in 256 color mode. I need to include several 256 color flcs & other bitmaps & vector graphics in the app. I create my vector drawings in coreldraw and would like to access a pallette created in toolbook so my vector objects do not have dithered fills.>> OK, firstly look in the MMTB User Guide at the Appendix B under "Working with 256-color display devices". All the information on creating custom palettes and so on for a toolbook is described there. You can even assign a custom palette to the book so that it is used for all bitmaps and vector graphics. Also check out "solidColorsEnabled" in the reference manual. If after doing that and you still have questions the Asymetrix forum is a great place to start, since this is where they support their product. Send a message to Eric Reitan.
