Steve:

It sounds like your problem has to do with using a Modal dialog in a 16bit
application. If you want processing to continue while your dialog is open
then you need to use Create() instead of DoModal() when you open your
dialog. This is a bit more complicated than just calling DoModal() but not
enough to fret over.
