Hi, is there a better way to place two tables (with the tabulate environment) side by side, I wrap them now in a vbox but this destroyes the spacing before and after them. I know floatcombination but I don't want to use it at the moment. \starttext \startcombination[2*1] {\vbox\bgroup \starttabulate[|cm|l|] \NC \NC Materialkosten je ME \NC\NR \NC + \NC Fertigungskosten je ME \NC\NR \HR \NC = \NC Herstellkosten je ME \NC\NR \NC + \NC Verwaltungskosten je ME \NC\NR \NC + \NC Vertriebskosten je Me \NC\NR \HR \NC = \NC Selbstkosten je ME \NC\NR \stoptabulate \egroup} {Progressive Kalkulation} {\vbox\bgroup \starttabulate[|cm|l|] \NC \NC Bruttoerlös je ME \NC\NR \NC - \NC Erlösminderung je Me \NC\NR \HR \NC = \NC Nettoerlös je ME \NC\NR \NC - \NC variable Kosten je Me \NC\NR \NC \NC \NC\NR \HR \NC = \NC Deckungsbeitrag je ME \NC\NR \stoptabulate \egroup} {Retrograde Kalkulation} \stopcombination \stoptext Wolfgang
