>>I'm trying to call a function in a dll that displays a CDialog derived dialog box. I am calling this DLL from another development environment (Visual FoxPro 5).

Thank you for your reply. The problem was that unless the app calling the DLL was written in Visual C, the function that is called in the DLL must not use any MFC-derived classes. You can avoid this by statically linking the MFC library with the DLL.

Thanks again,
