While I'm still curious about the msgbox not taking the parameters for the buttons and caption (when the help system leads me to believe it should)...

I have concluded that I don't want to open a new window. I need to access an instance of an OCX in the original window and wouldn't be able to do that from a new browser window.

I've decided that using frames will be a better solution for me. I've already made a sample to test my new approach and it worked.

>>Yes.
>>It allowed me to have a web app and display one "web page" on the top section of the screen... like the icon bar here at UT, and this page contains the OCX that I want to use.
>>In the other section I display the rest of my app which is a web page that reloads reflecting changes made by the user...
>>now these changes have no impact on my OCX, because that page displayed in the frame along the top, never changes.
>>
>>Now I'm on to my next puzzle... wanta help?
>>The OCX I'm using is an alarm. When the alarm fires I'm trying to display a message in a new page, displayed in a new browse window.
>>My alarm function is currently displaying a msgbox. I've looked at the msgbox and it looks like it supports a variety of buttons. I'd like to display a message with Yes/No buttons... but every time I try I get an error message.
