I've got all the issues solved except one and I've included answers for the 3 that are solved. If anyone can help me with the outstanding issue, which is #3 (the File Browser control won't browse), let me know. I know I can remove it and replace it with a text control and button and write my own browser routine, but for now there are other points to work on and I'm hoping it's something overly simple that I've missed.

Used Case and oDialog.execute() returns a 0 if canceled or closed with the close button on the window frame and returns a 1 if closed with the OK button. > 2) I notice that a text field doesn't officially contain the title > until I press "Enter".

Solved by adding an event handler through the Events tab in the Properties window (didn't see the Events tab due to scroll bars). > 3) The File Browser control doesn't open up any kind of browsing > function when I click on "Browse."

This still does not work and is the one outstanding issue: When I click on the "Browse" button, nothing happens, but from what I read, it should open up a file browser for me. Any idea what I need to do or why this doesn't work? > 4) When a regular button is pressed, I'd like to have it call a > subroutine in my Basic library so I can parse data in a particular > field. Also solved with the Events tab settings. Thanks for the help!
