Using the Package and Deploy wizard, I get a message saying that msxml3.dll
dependencies can't be found. Does it have any?

A Form has a Frame which encapsulates a CommandButton along with
several TextBoxes. There's also a ComboBox on the Form which is
outside the Frame. When a user comes to the Form for the first time,
the ComboBox isn't visible to him but the rest of the Form elements

I am using the dlgDialogs.ShowPrinter option to run various printer progs
that I have written, but after some small re-writes when the ShowPrinter GUI
appears and I click the print button there is a delay of around 15 to 20 secs

A Form has 2 Frames - the first one encapsulates some TextBoxes & 2
CommandButtons. The 2nd Frame encapsulates a ComboBox, a TextBox & a
CommandButton. When the app loads for the first time, the 1st Frame is
