How do I bring a form to the front and keep it there ??

Thanks in advance.

refer http://vblib.virtulave.net, there is a function called AlwaysOnTop in vbGeneralControl class which might help. Pass in the form handle, i.e. Form1.hWnd

..Or try this:

Const HWND_TOPMOST = -1
Const HWND_NOTOPMOST = -2
Const SWP_NOSIZE = &H1
Const SWP_NOMOVE = &H2
Const SWP_NOACTIVATE = &H10
Const SWP_SHOWWINDOW = &H40
Private Declare Sub SetWindowPos Lib "User32" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long)

Private Sub Form_Activate()

End Sub
