Thx for the replies people.

I've checked and I don't believe I have done this wrong:-

        * Child widgets are created outside their parent's xywh boundaries

    I'm working on reducing your app so it'll compile without the .cpy stuff.
    You do have to watch out for things like this:

                win2_tabs         = new  Fl_Tabs(x,y+25,x+400,y+200);
                        win2_grp1 = new Fl_Group(x,y+50,x+400,y+200,"Transaction");

    If you look closely, you'll see that the win_grp1's height is too large
    for the parent; its 'y' position is 25 pixels lower than the parent, but the
    height is the same, which means it'll extend 25 pixels beyond the bottom
    of the parent win2_tabs.

    To fix the above you'd use instead:

                win2_tabs         = new  Fl_Tabs(x,y+25,x+400,y+200);
                        win2_grp1 = new Fl_Group(x,y+50,x+400,y+200-25,"Transaction");

    I haven't checked the code yet, still working on reducing the code
    to just the GUI code, so it'll build.
