| Hi Folks
I have been looking in the help files and have found very little about
creating Dialog Boxes. I am wondering if there is no Dialog Box ability &
you must use a regular form. Can someone please let me know how you folks
deal with dialog boxes and how to create one?

| Hi John,
I find "msgbox()" very useful for brief messages.

| HI,
Look in the duflp for a custom message form class. If you can find it,
simply create one youreself, and utilize in all you applications

As others have noted, msgbox() (which is in the dUFLP) is useful.
However, a dialog is just a modal form, so if the standard MsgBox()
doesn't do the trick for you, or you have something specific you need to
do, just create a small modal form ...
