Interesting that they behave so differently. That begins to suggest they have different parents. What do you specify as the parent when you create the dialog? -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
