Bonnie,

This looks great, but I'm still not getting exactly what I was working for. The dialogbox is close to the original textbox, but not quite. So I'm wondering about from what point is the Location property on the dialogbox in relation to? Is there a property in the dialogbox form that tells it that location is in reference to? There's a Start Position property, but I don't know if that's it and if so, which setting is the right one in this case.

>>I have a Windows Form, that has a Panel, that has a textbox/button combo on it. When I click the button, I'd like a search window to popup right next to the Textbox. I'm not really sure how to reference the location so that I can achieve this. I've tried the following code in the click event of the button, but it doesn't do seem anything.

>>SearchPopUp.Location = this.Location;
