Dear Cindy,
I am eternally grateful for your help.
It turns out that the search you suggested (VB AND Off2000 AND dismiss
AND message ) returned a KB article that deals specifically with this
type of problem. (for the benefit of others having the same problem: the
KB article suggests using a Timer event at the point where a dialog
might appear and simulate user input using the SendKeys function)
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnoffdev/html/vsofficedev.asp?frame=true)

It looks like I will not have to redesign everything to make it work...!
Thank you so much for your help!

Kind Regards,
Steven C Moschidis MBCS
