I have made a dialog that contains an animation control so that the user knows that they are retrieving records from the database. I have a problem, however, that when I load the dialog, while it is processing the records, the dialog doesn't show up(on top I guess). All I see is the transparent outline of the dialog form but no form. Any ideas or suggestions on what might be wrong. Is the dialog losing focus? I have also tried setting focus on LostFocus and Activate events and to no avail.

Thanks in advance.
