Richard, Thanks for the reply. I checked my code and I do not have any OnActivate handlers. Thanks. Walt

I am using version C++ 6.0 (and ported another application to VS2008 and I have the same problem). I have multiple dialogs in my application. It has been in use for years and now it has been noticed that if a edit box, checkbox, etc. is changed and then the dialog is dragged to more than 1/2 off the monitor's screen, that the data is reset. This is confusing to me. It seems like it has something to do with Paint, but I am not able to figure it out. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks. Walt
