Apparently there are alot of internal bugs in commdlg. If you want to use bwcc you may want to read PC Mag (vol 11, nums 19-20). They use TP code but explain the pitfalls. If you just want to 3D-fy the commdlg try instead (since hacking a working commdlg & bwcc model is such a headache) using Microsoft's offical 3D library. Look at Excel 4.0 to see what it can do. It's trivial to use and apparently will be part of future Windows versions. The library is called: ctl3d (dll, lib, header). I got it from the Microsoft msdnlib forum on Compuserve. Note that they keep separate the library and the technical notes on the topic (makes sense!). If there is enough interest I might upload it to CICA. Gook luck Kris --- Kris B.
