Hi Marty
I’m just wondering if you are using the standard IDE ask and answer dialog or a custom one? If you are working on a very old stack then MetaCard used to copy the ask and answer dialog into the stackFile as a substack. You should be able to see them in the project browser under your mainstack. If that’s the case then perhaps try deleting those.
Cheers
Monte

Ask and Answer dialogs are so far off you can only see about the bottom 1/8 of an inch of the window and are thus unusable.
