These calls ring a bell - there has been some discussion recently about
using zero length strings in FrmCustomAlert & it's behaviour when you do
this. Apparently it is not a good idea to do this to replace a
place-holder with nothing. You should either (depending on who you listen
to) use a non-zero length blank string:
FrmCustomAlert(CustomAlert, " ", "Writing Field...", " ");
or, use a NULL:
FrmCustomAlert(CustomAlert, NULL, "Writing Field...", NULL);
