I think that can't be true, since calls to my public sub (a different
sub) are also halted. But timer events work fine.

Well of course you are free to think what you want, but "thinking" something does not make it so! Which part of my description are you suggesting is untrue, and which part of your own statement "calls to my public sub are halted" makes you think that it is untrue?

If you are "calling" functions from within the block of code that displayed the standard VB MsgBox then of course those calls will fail to work, because the execution of that entire block of code is halted until the MsgBox has been dismissed by the user!

Perhaps you might like to post your entire code (or at least a section of that code which demonstrates the problem)?
