Defining the location of dialog box

[David McFarlane]

Gilis,

Michiel already answered the question as 
posed.  I would add that you could accomplish 
much the same end by using an input mask with an 
increased Max Count and adding an Echo Client, 
which could provide a more seamless look, but 
admittedly that does take rather more finesse than a simple InputBox.
