Hi thanks again for your input ive pretty much got this working now, well its shows the dialog when the reg search is true and doesnt show the dialog when the reg search is false, however im gettin a problem further down the installUi sequence which to be fair is nothing to do with this particular issue. I will have to involve the person who origianly made the UI to see whats what.
