Ok, so I'm coming in a little late on this one, but here goes.
Having read the other responses, and realising that you've gone for a
bit of a manual resolution, is it possible that the DLL-based form
doesn't realise what it's parent application is? How are you creating
the form - in the DLL or in your EXE code? What do you pass in as the
owner of the form?
Just a few interesting ideas - hope they help in some way.
Regards,
Bevan
