COM popup form gets 'lost'
You need to set the correct parent HWND for your modal dialog. I don't know how
you would do it in VB (I don't use it), assuming it can be done
1. Get IOleWindow interface of the Outlook Explorer or Inspector that must be
the parent (use "As"?)
2. call IOleWindow.GetWindow() to get the window handle
3. Make that HWND a parent of your dialog. (???)
