Hum... Resize could be done via views designed for specific desktop sizes... (with window open/close events to switch views.) Not as "any sized" as the original, but very close.
Writing the field contents to a file... Sounds like a Report to file to me. Reading a files contents into the field.... sounds like a $PROCESS$ more|less|type call to me. (likely not working on the Web however.) And I think you could even make it a "non-dialog" window too. (If your first window was not a dialog.) and let you keep multiple of those windows open at a time. -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....

** Strange but thats exactly what me and a colleague of mine designed.. I've decided to hide the expansion box of the diary field and build another dialog having 2 fields for the edit and non edit part and 2 buttons OK and Cancel and emulate the diary field functionality using a small button near the actual diary field that brings up this second dialog.. Only functions that users wont be able to do is resize the dialog and have these 2 fields resize automatically, and the option of saving the contents of a diary field to a file or writing from a file to the diary field.. you cant really get it all and yet make it look like the original field.. I could add the edit boxes for those 2 fields but the look and feel will differ distintively.. Rgds Joe D'Souza Remedy Developer / Consultant, BearingPoint, Virginia.
