I have a DLL (built in C++ builder) with two forms which are displayed
on request from a host application. 

Now when running my host app in the  VB6 IDE I can display that form
(calling the relavent DLL function)  through a button on a dialog
which is also shown modally without a problem. However if I compile
the host app and run it on its own, the DLL form is displayed when
activated from the modal dialog, but I cannot access it: it appears
frozen like the background main form of the host app - the dialog
itself is also frozen. I'm sure this has something to do with threads
and possibly ownership, but I cannot understand why it works in the
IDE and not as compiled prog. Can anyone shed some light on this
please ?

Didn't catch the beginning of this, but looks like you've got a stray
SetFocus somewhere.
