Like jim I prefer to have users enter data in FIDs, and here's why I would like to have a second FID visible along with the first FID: I am planning on "rolling my own" dialogs, for a couple of reasons (can't stand the look of them on a Mac, plus you can't return the number of the button that was pressed, only the text).
Anyway, when I'm validating the data entry on the first FID, I would like to display a dialog (which is the second FID), alerting the user of some data entry problem. From a UI standpoint, it will look strange to see the first FID disappear, which is why I'm asking if it's possible to *not* hide the first FID.
