I like it. The card has two groups (not in the Rev sense but logically connected) of fields plus sundry other data. I use two modeless dialogs to complete each the two field sets when needed. The user brings up the dialog by clicking in any of the relevant fields, and can save changes, leaving the dialog visible, do something else, or dismiss it without changes (buttons are Delete, Clear, Save and Close). If, having brought it up, they click a second time in the source fields then the new data simply replaces the old (removing unsaved changes) in the dialog and not affecting the source data previously selected. In normal use there is no significant difference between having it modal or modeless but the latter is a slight advantage to me where the user can pause to adjust something else, affecting a calculated field, before completing the dialog fields.Let me know how it works out.

The entry fields they are replacing are modelessly available after all. I will see what works.Hi David, Why "modeless" instead of modal dialogs?
cheers
