Data base events is a FBA, a faceless background application. Since it doesn't have a user interface, when you display user interface elements you can get unreliable results.

Somewhere in Apple's documentation, I forget exactly where, an FBA needs to display a dialog like this:

activate me
tell me to display dialog ...

if the application you have written is an FBA; or

tell application "System Events" -- for example
activate
display dialog ...
end tell

if you are telling an FBA. If you want more info, search the documentation for 'LSUIElement'.
