Hi Jim....

It just occurred to me that my problem is happening WHILE
the modal dialog is displayed, not AFTER! Therefore, running
DoEvents once the dialog box closes might not fix my problem
after all.

Basically, there is one DateTimePicker control on top of
my userform. When the calendar graphic is opened then closed,
I noticed that the calendar graphic remains visible in the background,
almost as if it skipped a repaint step or refresh or something like that.

Do you have any other ideas as to what is going on here?

thanx

DoEvents will usually clean things up after closing a form.
