1)Removing the minimize maximize buttons from the form.Leacing only the close button on the form.
Set the form bordserstyle property to fixed dialog (or anything other fixed).

Restore the form, when minimized for 1 minute.

' add a timer to the form, set it's interval to 1000
private Sub Timer1_Timer()
If me.WindowState = 1 then ' Minimized
iMinCount = iMinCount + 1
If iMinCount = 60 then
me.WindowState = 0
iMinCount = 0
End If
else ' not minimized
iMinCount = 0
End If
End Sub

thanks for your help,there is another two doubts.
If I set the borderstyle property as fixed dialog. this windowstate program is not working.
