Henk, pay attention. *This* is what is known as a
"red herring". :-)

P.S. Just to amuse me, could you try substituting my
COYOTE_FIELD compound widget for your CW_FIELD compound
widget. It should be a drop-in replacement, pretty much.
But we are *really* going to have to see some code, because
my modal widgets are filled with CW_FIELDs (or their
equivalents) and I've never heard of this. :-)
