Bob, Thanks for the advice. But since what I'm trying to do is just a nice add-on to a client's app (the client didn't ask for it), I don't want to spend too much time on this... To make things clear, what I am trying to do is to use revBrowser inside a modal stack. IOW revBrowser is activated AFTER the "modal stack" command... So my guess was that revBrowser would display on top of everyting, including a modal stack... jbv
