I'll look at it again then, thanks! What I've done so far is create a form that works as a messagebox and I pass the message, title, and button captions to the form. It works fine and I was able to resize the form and buttons based on the captions and size of the message, but rather than include the form in the project, I'd like to be able to save it as a class and add the code to a method of the calling form and run it that way. Is there anyway to do this that you know of? I've never included one form definition inside another form, so I don't know if it is possible. I've always just added the form or class to the project.

>>Thanks Sergey, I looked at alert.prg but it requires foxtools and I'm trying to limit what is distributed with our app to keep the size as small as possible.
