Aditya- This is snipped out of my scalebar program, it seems to work... Part of your Dialog will have something like this: Control EditText Value "0" Position 15,12 Width 10x ID 14 Into <int_variable> '.your other dialog controls '. '. Control OKButton Position 8x,15y ID 9 calling Check_OK just make sure you assign an ID number and call the sub Check_OK. In your new sub Check_OK - note the last part(& declare it at the beginning): Sub Check_OK If Val(ReadControlValue(14)) < 0 then 'note the 14 is the cotrol ID Note "You MUST enter a POSITIVE Value before continuing." Alter Control 14 Active Dialog Preserve ElseIf ReadControlValue(14) = str$(0) then Note "You MUST enter a Value before continuing." Alter Control 14 Active Dialog Preserve ElseIf Val(ReadControlValue(14)) = 0 then Note "Please type a number, not text!" Alter Control 14 Active Dialog Preserve End IF End Sub Hope that helps!
