Why can't I add new objects to the first window? The whole purpose of a modal dialog is to allow you to suspend user input. You don't have to use the dialog's window listener to start your next process, that was just to keep the example simple. I think you ought to use a modal dialog for this unless you haven't completely described what you are trying to do (or I can't understand what you are up to :-). -- Knute Johnson
