Modal DialogBoxes in dll / VBA

I'm trying to use Modal & Modeless dialog boxes in a dll.

When I use the compiled version of the dll within Microstation V8 with VBA the Modal dialog 'hangs' microstation V8.

When I run the dll in VB6 and then start the program microstation V8 with VBA and call the Modal Dialog function the interaction between VBA and VB works correctly.

1) Is it normal that a compiled version acts different than one in debug mode

2)Is it normal to use dialog boxes in a dll?

With regards,

:confused:

As I understand placing any visual component into a dll is bad practice as the whole point is to seperate the user interface from the business rules.

I have not experiences a compiled dll behaving differently
