Ken and Malte, Thanks for the suggestions.
Malte--Your suggestion works well. Thanks. As you say it is a bit of a hack. Ken--I was referring to the stack that opens in response to the RR "Answer" command. Is it possible to set a preopencard handler in that stack? But using a modal stack as you suggest, I can roll my own "answer" dialogue. This would give me more flexibility. I assume many others take this route. Thanks, again, Jim Hurley > On Nov 17, 2011, at 10:05 AM, James Hurley wrote: > > > > Can one set the location of the popup dialog box?
