Thanks to all the people who have responded and also provided helpful
information. Thanks Dana, Geoff and Jim. 

Geoff, if possible, could you post that article to the list? It might
help everyone, and certainly those of us who do not live in a perfect
world where surreal things don't happen.

It isn't Friday yet (:

Subject: Maximum size of a dialog box?

Good Morning all,
 
I was recently asked by the QA dept if there was a rule to define the
maximum size of a dialog box? And that would work for all environments.?
Some of our dialog boxes are so big that on some machines (Unix/Linux),
the users can't see the entire dialog box. These are not resizable
either.
 
I am working with development to move things around, but for the
future...it would be nice to tell them you cannot exceed x by y. Any one
faced these issues? Any pointers, Thanks, Sulbha.
