Did you call SetTransferBuffer() ? If you don't, TDialog doesn't where your
data is. However, if you do call SetTransferBuffer(), TDialog will also be
calling TransferData() and possibly overwriting the reusults of your call. The
best way to use a transfer buffer is to simply fill it with data prior to
calling TDialog::Execute() and let TDialog handle the data transfering.
I don't know why this works with BC5.0 and not with BC5.02. But remember that
BC5.0 had lots of bugs in it.
