Is it ok to have a toolbar on a sheet? Or is this not proper form? In my early attemtps I see that the sheet loads with the toolbar, but it loads about 20 pixels or so below the title bar. Not exactly what one would want.

It doesn't really make any sense to have a toolbar on a sheet, either logically or technically. Sheets are meant to be transient, document-modal dialogs. They shouldn't need toolbars. Any function you can perform in the sheet should be usable through buttons in the sheet. If you feel like you need to put a toolbar on a sheet, I'd say you need to rethink the design that led to this sheet in the first place.

Ya, I figured. Basicly what I was doing was providing a configuration screen of sorts. And rather than have a tab view in that configuration screen, I was going for an aproach more like the Safari preferences (clicking the various icons in the toolbar changed the tabless view). I guess I will just scrap it as a sheet, and leave it as its own window.

It's probably bad form, but if you still want to do it, I have some code that will move the sheet up 20 pixels.

Nah, I ditched the idea.
