Hi Andre,

I'm not exactly sure what you're after, but it appears from your 
description fairly easy to do.

Just use htmlText for each line. For instance:

set the htmlText of line 1 of fld "timeline" to \

<p><img src="redball.gif">	Task One	<img src="active.gif">	<img 
src="nonactive.gif"></p>

You'll need to get the secondColumn formattedTextWidth and set your 
tabstops accordingly. I've done this many times for my projects.

btw, 	 is the html for tab
