I'm writing a stack which does key trapping in one field only.  When the user
selects another field by either tabbing into it or selecting it with the
mouse the key trapping is turned off.  The XFCN which I use to do the key
trapping is called "controlLock".  Problems arise when the user opens the
message box and tries to type something into it because the key trapping 
(which remaps the keyboard) is still on.  The only solution to the problem
which I have discovered so far is to turn off the key trapping manually with
a button, but its not as elegant as I'd like.  Does anyone know how to 
detect opening of the message box in a script?

Thanks,  KeithThanks,     keith
