Does anyone know where I can find information about designing user forms to a standard or what techniques are best adopted to a solution?

Thanks

Thanks everyone.

What I wanted to know was standards for distance of a button from the form border, standard height of a button, etc

Hi Mindcrime
I have seen what u are talking about detailed quite comprehensively on the MSDN Library CD. I will try to find it for you. It lists distances of everything from everything and everything in between

Will let u know
