Mike,

You're welcome.

I believe that there were two reason for this change. First, and to play devil's advocate here < s >, it does allow you to see the images without having to click on each one. Second, and this is a pure SWAG on my part, I think it allowed the Fox Team to eliminate the need to have a special dialog for this, and thus reduce the code base by utilizing the Common Dialogs DLL.

>You know my earlier question about the disabled Close in the File Menu. I called Microsoft today and ended up emailing the guy a sample screen. That was 12 hours ago and I still haven't heard back. I'll let you know what he has to say when he gets back to me.

Don't you mean "...when and if...". (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

>I have had to make a number of calls to Microsoft lately. If you ever have to call them, I hope you like listening to music. The waiting times are about the same as a medical Walk-In Clinic in a small town.

I've had other experiences like that.:-)
