Another possibility is to use an API call in the VB program to always keep
the VB window as the top most window. Will force the user to respond to the
VB program before allowing the user back into MapInfo/MapBasic.

Hi,
To keep mapbasic from using cpu resources while sitting in a loop waiting
for the VB app to finish I use the Windows Sleep API to pause mapbasic.
Declare Sub Sleep LIB "kernel32" (byVal dwMilliseconds As Integer)
Dim DelayTime as Integer
Call Sleep(DelayTime)
