Chuck - I have had the same problem. I think that modal dialogs just don't
work well for people with a lot of reminders. I would either stop using them
(my choice) or reduce the number of reminders so that you only get one at a
time.

In terms of Windows this is what happens:
- MLO raises a Modal Dialog
- MLO updates the reminders dialog
- The reminders dialog is brought to the front.

Interesting I bet if you dig into the current Windows design guidelines
modal dialogs have been deprecated. For the most part you're invited to
create modeless dialogs.

Cheers
