Yep, set the .DialogTitle property to whatever you want.

Sure thing, and I work with it this. If a command button is used to activate it, it's stored as a custom property of the command button. In order create a reference to it, oOpenDlg = CREATEOBJECT("MSComDlg.CommonDialog.1"). The upside to it is that you don't have to worry about versioning problems (always a consideration with ActiveX controls). The downside is that you lose the access to the properties dialog.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
