In a module, place the following code

'this is the function used to manipulate the window position
Public 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

'several constants that are used in conjunction with that function (hehe, that
'rymes) ;)
Public Const SWP_FRAMECHANGED = &H20 ' The frame changed: send WM_NCCALCSIZE
Public Const SWP_DRAWFRAME = SWP_FRAMECHANGED
Public Const SWP_HIDEWINDOW = &H80
Public Const SWP_NOACTIVATE = &H10
Public Const SWP_NOCOPYBITS = &H100
Public Const SWP_NOMOVE = &H2
Public Const SWP_NOOWNERZORDER = &H200 ' Don't do owner Z ordering
Public Const SWP_NOREDRAW = &H8
Public Const SWP_NOREPOSITION = SWP_NOOWNERZORDER
Public Const SWP_NOSIZE = &H1
Public Const SWP_NOZORDER = &H4
Public Const SWP_SHOWWINDOW = &H40
Public Const HWND_BOTTOM = 1
Public Const HWND_TOP = 0
Public Const HWND_NOTOPMOST = -2
Public Const HWND_TOPMOST = -1

'and now in your form, usually in the form load event, enter the following:

Private Sub Form_Load()

    'a variable to hold the return value of the setwindowpos function
    Dim RetVal As Long
    'set the form as the topmost window
    RetVal = SetWindowPos(Me.hwnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE Or _
    SWP_NOMOVE)
    'If RetVal <> 0 Then Success!
End Sub
