You need to use the SetWindowPos function in User32.dll. To use this you need the following code in the General Declarations section of your form (all on one line - omit the private if placed in a code module) Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal h As Long, ByVal hb%, ByVal x%, ByVal y%, ByVal cx%, ByVal cy%, ByVal f%) As Integer Place the following code in Form_Load (Replace Me with the name of your form if making it always on top from another form/module): Dim ret As Integer ret = SetWindowPos(Me.hWnd, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2 Or 1) Hope this helps. -- *************************************** ** EMail Sent By Peter Denton ** ** Email: P.G.Denton@scm.brad.ac.uk ** ** OR P.G.Denton@bradford.ac.uk ** ** Phone: (01274) 232559 ** ***************************************
