Up Message (OpenInsight 32-Bit)

I cannot get the 'U' type message to work in 7.1. Even copying the example in the Help is unsuccessful. Is this a feature of 7.1 or is there something I am missing? Whenever I test run a 'U' type message it displays as a 'BO' type.
If I create a 'U' type in the UI Workspace and test-run it there, it works. When I call that message elsewhere, I get the same problem of it displaying as a 'BO' type.
In the interim, I am creating my own message 'on-the-fly' using the 'CREATE' service of Utility.

Paul-
So far as I have heard it works fine. However, your symptoms make it sound as if the MSG does not have a valid Parent- Paramater 1 of the MSG call.
Have you looked at that?

Thanks Mike. That was it. I was calling an 'Up' message from a process where no window was involved, hence the problem.
I did find dynamic windows and controls interesting. I can make use of this in the future, as I have in the past with Arev.
On looking through the code for MSG, I see how the use of Create_Dialog and Dialog_Box is used. There is a lot more to MSG than meets the eye.
