Scott, one way to act in these problems:
1) Program your dialogues in Visual basic.
2) From Visual Basic call the running MapInfo as an
object. Then when the user completed the dialog
questions and clicks OK, fire the command
mapinfoObject.do and write mapbasic syntax here.
2) Next write a MapBasic routine firing the Visual
basic exe or dll which the user can call from the
menu..
maybe this will help.
