Actually I just want to send a user initiated reset flag back to the DLL so 
that it can start a certain procedure from the beginning.

HOST APP + DLL    <---------   OTHER APP SENDS FLAG TO THE DLL

The host application would have its own message queue but unfortunatelty I 
dont have access to it. In the past I have used some visual components 
within the DLL with limited success but have removed them because it wasn't 
100% reliable on all machines I used it on.

regards
david
