Hi Fabian,

Thanks for your response.

Docs don't always get updated. Kenny Kerr pointed that out to me.
I tried the approach of altering the caption, and other approaches, but they
were not satisfactory for me; the error message was not obvious enough.

I think I read a few years ago that two dialog boxes prompting for user
input consecutively is a GUI no-no. Regardless, I don't like it when any
application I use has that "flow". Unfortunately, that will be what I have
to do. I'll prompt the user for user name and password, and if login fails,
I'll have to show a dialog box that shows the login has failed, and prompts
the user to retry (yes or no).

I wish there were a better way, but I'm under time constraints, and I've
spent enough time investigating this already.

I'm surprised that MS didn't design the dialog better, initially.
