Things to try:
A) make sure 's' is pointing to a valid string. Set a breakpoint and look
as 's' (garbage in, garbage displayed)
B) make sure you have at least ^1 in your custom alert
C) use " " (note the space between the quotes) for the 2nd and 3rd
parameters in FrmCustomAlert instead of NULL or empty string. (more for
compatibility and out of habit)
