  Maybe there is none. I can't think of one offhand.
  (Except that both are implemented in the Win API 
  to be modal.) OTOH, I can think of a reason to not 
  allow the opposite: Suppose you open the "Print" 
  dialog, and enter that you want to print page 2-7, 
  then open the "Open" dialog and open a document 
  with only one page. What will happen? 
  Being a programmer I have to deal with logic all 
  day and would therefor expect the print dialog to 
  somehow erase or disable the page range. But being 
  the one who has to explain this to the guys writing 
  the manual, I know that I have no chance to get 
  this feature into an application. They'd never 
  accept it -- and rightly so.
