When I sent the email, the compssUsers file was missing from the package, so Mandrake Choices was not even on the dialog. The opening dialog is now "correct". FYI: The currently selected option in a group is also referred to as the "active" selection. > > > The windows popping up and going away is rather odd - reminiscent > > of VB apps in Windows.

Yes - look at the WAY it's done - V1 reused the same window frame for the most part. This popping up and down message boxes is very amateur. The standard way is to keep the main window open and pop up message boxes over it as needed. -- Murray J.
