Hi Mike, For some reason your e-mails do not appear in my gmail account until long after you posted them.

But that doesn't change anything for you. The popped up dialog window is still a new object isolated from the parent dialog. > This hand over of a value I must repeat for ervery variable I need > in the child dialog.

It is hard to give advice without seeing more of your code. But, if you have a lot of variables, a lot of data, that you want to transfer between dialogs and allow the dialogs to change the values, you could define your own class to contain the data and then pass an object of that class back and forth. ::class 'MikesData' ::attribute ipAddressHost ::attribute ipAddressClient ::attribute userName ::attribute userPassword ::attribute lastMessage ::attribute someOtherData ::method init self~ipAddressHost = '' self~ipAddressClient = '' ... In your parent dialog: data = .MikesData~new ... subDlg1 = .Dialog~new subDlg1~sendMyData(data) sudDlg~execute The just pass the object around. Read any data values you need from the object rather than local variables. If one of the sub dialogs needs to change a variable value change it in the object being passed around. If any other dialog needs to know the value, read it from the object. -- Mark Miesfeld ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
