David,
Yes, I know... but the reason is that the message is not generated by EMail.. the data is coming in via secure data link... picked up from a CSV... and then parsed... 'So the hey I'm done! But..' message needs to come up on error... regardless of current user application... :-)

>>Well, after I got the response I did some checking and found that out - ironically, that is what I want in this case... this timer.app is checking for inbound parsing errors in the log... but, the channels are only open during business hours (bankers hours)... for this app, consider it like outlook - that silly message pops up (unlike outlook we don't want to turn it off) but it is only for certain functions... the poll is made every hour (arbitrary based on incoming dataloading) to check the error log and if there is a new entry I just want to let the user know... this particular error needs to be addressed within 60 minutes of occuring as that is when the next cycle should be starting and I want to avoid backlog... FWIW - the error to call the MB_SYSMMODAL will occur when certain incoming datastream components (such as a product identification code) is marked as invalid. The manager will have to decide on approrpriate action (such as replacement/replinishment procedures)...
