Hi,

using the getTopLevelAncestor()- Method I get a "constructor not found"
-message, because getTopLevelAncestor() returns a container, not a
frame. 

here ist the constructor:     JDialog modDia = new
JDialog(this.getTopLevelAncestor(),"Modify Data", true);

Is it posible to cast this into a frame or ist there another solution?
