Form View Question

[Craig McPherson]

Forgot to mention: the posted code will produce a window 4.5 inches  
by 5 inches
for the rectanglesize(1,1,9*36,3.5*72)) the '36' and '72' represent  
pixels... 36 is for half inch increments, 72 is for inch- 
increments...to change the window size, alter those numbers.
