Thanks in advance everyone!

I have a main 'Window' open. When the user selects a menu option from the main window, I want another window to open. This OTHER window will take input from the user and close when done where focus will return back to the MAIN window...how can I achieve this...its driving me insaner than I already am!

You need to intercept what window/button the user clicks.

MaxGUI doesn't support "true" modal windows, so you may have problems.
