Here's the part where I ask my stupid question.  When you bring up the
dialog box do you have the following code in your program:

             lpProc<dlg proc name> = MakeProcInstance(<dlg proc name>, hInst);
             DialogBox(hInst, "<Dialog Resource>", hWnd, lpProc<dlg proc name>);
             FreeProcInstance(lpProc<dlg proc name>);

If not, it would be a definite problem (I'm especiallly referring to the
first line).  Actually, I can't think of a way you'd bring up the dialog
without this, but I'm checking.

The next question regards the constants.  You posted dialog resource code
that had a 107 for the button you were using and in the code you refered
to IDC_PASSWD (or something like that).  I'm going on the assumption that
these are the same value.  One other tip here is that you should use
EndDialog, not DestroyDialog.  This would have nothing to do with you're
not getting any messages, however.  Next tip, make sure that your .DEF file
contains the dialog proc name in it's EXPORTS section.

I think that covers just about anything that could go wrong.
