Am I right in saying that putting
FrmCustomAlert(CustomAlert,"Sending R...","","");
means that you're not actually sending pointers, but data which the function
is taking as being an address to some other string. I tried this, and it
printed gobbledeegook.
Can someone comment, as this doesn't work!

FrmCustomAlert is perfectly happy with zero-length strings. However I
suspect the problem is that you have an alert which is looking for ^1 and
you placed the string in the ^2 position. You probably want
FrmCustomAlert(CustomAlert,"Sending R...","","");
which is code which I have used about a thousand times or so, so unless
you have mucked up the CustomAlert alert itself (which is of course
possible), I guarantee that will work.
