Use FrmDoDialog instead.

In general, these interrupting dialogs should be avoided. Too many of them will cause your users to hurl their devices across the room, where they can sometimes strike hard surfaces and shatter. Then they send them back to be replaced under warranty, which cuts into our profit sharing.

True, sometimes the simplest solution is to use one of these dialogs. So if that really is the simplest way, then fine. However, it's worth spending the time to make sure that all other options have been explored.

P.S. I'm kidding about the profit sharing. As far as I can tell, our profit sharing is in no way influenced by the number of warranty returns on the hardware.
