what Corey just said. <g>
I'll add one comment/warning. If the DLL code that creates the
modal dialog and actually does the work of running the report
is a blind "black box" you could get into trouble with conflicts
between the two threads because of behaviour inside the DLL that
isn't "thread safe".
For example - the DLL may allocate one global something and not
expect another thread to be using that global something. Like
a buffer, or object used to create the report.
So you could end up with a mess doing this. It really depends
on what's happening inside the DLL.
good luck
