You don't need to differentiate (although I know in VB.Net you can). You want them to treat Close (pressing the 'X' in the upper right corner) and Cancel (pressing the 'Cancel' button) the same ... dismiss the dialog window without updating anything. As a matter of fact, pressing the ESC key should to the same thing. *** This is one of the reasons why I don't trust the modified_date. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools I have the same reservations re modified date and only use it for finding stuff which I have changed in the past month. Your response does seem to illustrate the dilemma. Most users would expect that using the "X" to close would save and not cancel any changes. Where no changes have been made I do not think that VB6 can tell, so it plays safe when the "X" is selected to close.
