Sorry Bob. I'm so Mac oriented that I forget some of us have to deal with Windows. I had never checked, but had "assumed" that when I call for "as sheet" that the Dialogs produced for Window's versions would, at least be located similarly, if not functionally, as a "sheet" type dialog. Guess "assume" bit me in the butt as usual. (smile)
If you're rolling your own, can't you just make the Dialog Window non-modal, so it can be dragged out of the way when necessary?
