Thanks, that's good news! I'll act on that advice next time.
Concerning TDBCalendar: I did change the font (a narrower one) and its size
with a good result, as I had to squeeze the control in a tiny gap. However, as you say it, there might be other disadvantages doing so, and there might be better ways to handle such cases. (I set AutoSize true and tried the "scaling" from context menu before, but without success).
