Ghost Window

I have a .DLL which uses the ADO VCL objects. These objects are created at
runtime in the DLL, not as objects on a form. When my .EXE loads the .DLL, a
"ghost window" is created. The symptoms are that the taskbar icon for the
.EXE shows the default icon instead of the application icon, and when
minimizing or maxmizing the window, two windows can be seen snapping into
position, but only one is visible.

When I take the ADO code out of my .DLL, everything is back to normal.
Does anyone know what is causing this?

Thanks,
David Bridges
