Steve,

Is there any chance you can try running the program on something older
than WinXP - just to see if the problem is peculiar to XP (I dont have
XP available to test this).

I do know that there are some specific API issues involved with
displaying the button correctly (especially where numeric /
right-justified values are involved) and I am guessing it is possible
that under XP there may be some differences that may need to be
resolved.
