You are pretty wrong being sure :) Under windows, it is indeed possible to embed certain applications into others - the related technical term is conveniently called OLE (Object lining and embedding). But the application has to be prepared for doing so - and this is deep windows stuff, so I guess you can't do that with Tkinter. Another technique is to use so-called activex-controls. The IEfor instance is available as such a control. But that also isn't doable with Tkinter (AFAIK, I'm not totally sure on that). But wxPython can: http://www.wxpython.org/MigrationGuide.html Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
