\useMPgraphic

[Haseloff, Lutz]

Hi all,

I create a form with a complicated Table and many fields.
(a typical german form :-)
For the table i use METAPOST 
(\useMPgraphic) and the resulting Graphic
i use as an overlay.
The more mp-commands and definitions i use, the more i have to shift the
graphic to the left to fit on the page (the table is a bit smaller than the
page).

If i create a seperate mp-file, run METAPOST and use it
with \externalfigure all works as expected.

PS: Thank You Hans for your answer to my Date field problem.
       I´m fully satisfied!
       There is really much to learn about JS for me!

I'm not sure if I understand the problem. If you use the beta, the cause can be that the new file protection mechanism introduced a spurious space (already corrected).  

If the problem is persistent, I need more info.

With the new beta all is o.k.
Thank you
