There must be something else....I did a little more checking....I found out that all modal forms on one computer have the close button on the top right and all the exact same modal forms on another computer do not have the close button on the top right.... There has got to be some setting or something I would think, since it relates to all the modal forms.

Any other ideas? Thanks again for you help on this..
