Try loading the DITL using GetResource and putting in the correct PICT id yourself. Then when the dialog manager gets control it finds the DITL already loaded and simply reuses it (but it will be purged when you terminate the dialog so you will have to load and patch it again if you wish to re-display the dialog) Charlie Bounds Charlie@cup.portal.com
