The minimum size of Entry boxes such as a State (only needs space for 2
characters) takes up as much space as an address line. I then set the
Width attribute in Glade and make everything look good in Glade (the
.glade I sent still needs a little tweaking) but when I Build (via
Glade) and the compile in Ada, all my Width settings are no longer
present, nor in the generated Ada code.

My State, Phone, Fax all take the same space as Doctor Name, Office
Name, etc...

I have attached a glade file with a sample screen.

Thank you for taking the time to help.
