prevent form from being minimised

hi, how do u prevent a form from being minimised, so that it is always the top form!

Trap for the WindowState in the Form_Resize event and if vbMinimized, then set the WindowState to either vbNormal or vbMaximized.
ie

Private Sub Form_Resize()

If Me.WindowState = vbMinimized Then
Me.WindowState = vbNormal
End If

End Sub

This works, but the form loads is a popup like way, and i dont want the user to be able to click back on to the main form, and therefore the popup gets hidden behind it.

Show it modally then.

Use MDI child forms and change the Form's modality, I think that might do the trick.

how is that done??????????

Sorry May I Interupt?
MDIchild form cannot be shown modally?
U will get this error:
Runtime error '404'
MDI child forms cannot be shown modally

To Be Able To Do As U want U Have to Make the Form Not a MDIChild form
Then U Can Load It Modally

Form1.Show vbModal

Form.Show vbModal, Me

PLease explain, i dont undersatand, all i want is for the popup form (form1) to be always on top

How Do U trigger Form1 To Load?
May be if U Post That Code It May Help..

all done, but how do i make the popup appear in the middle???

This Will Helps..

Private Sub Form_Resize()
Me.Move (Screen.Width - Me.ScaleWidth) / 2, (Screen.Height - Me.ScaleHeight) / 2
End Sub

Or set the StartupPosition property of the form to either 1 - CenterOwner or 2 - CenterScreen
