My son actually taught me this. Why he would be knowing this stuff is beyond me.... He's been programming since he was 8 ( I think he's the result of an alien abduction ).
O.K. enough of that, onto the reason you're reading this e-mail.... So here's the tip. If you want to have your VB form stay in the foreground even when another window is active and receiving scripting commands, add the following two lines of code to your form. 'The 1st line goes in the Declaration Section, Private Declare Function 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) As Long 'The 2nd line goes in the Form Load Event and is the code that makes the window stay on top. SetWindowPos Me.hWnd, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2 Or 1 'If you want a technical explanation of you this code works, go to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com: 80/support/kb/articles/q184/2/97.asp&NoWebContent=1 or do a search for VB+SetWindowsPos on the internet Have fun, and I hope you find this useful! Paul P.S. Lew this is the code I told you about. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Smith, Kristie L.
