Erick - the function I was using was out of the Win32 module, not Win32::GUI, that explains the differences. to get the method I use to work you would need: use Win32, as well as use: Win32::Gui. Tim

However, if I call the method MessageBox() on a window object, it's all good. Halfway through this email I realized what you did wrong; shouldn't it be: Win32::GUI::MessageBox( 0, "Do you want to do this?", "Title", MB_ICONINFORMATION | MB_YESNO, ); well at least this works for me. One question, what does the zero do? Make it modal? erick never stop questioning www.jeb.ca <http://www.jeb.ca>
