the top of my head what the problem was (some control or overlapping form behaving funny or something). I'd recommend using Application.Run(frm) instead. I think that's supposed to be the "proper" way to do it.

'Application.Run' instead of showing a form as a modal dialog, which is semantically incorrect. Sure, there are different ways of showing forms... -- M S Herfried K.

thanks for the tip.. I went to ms to find out more about this... and I copied the following code.. but I get errors Public Class StartupEventArgs Inherits CancelEventArgs Private Sub MyApplication_Startup( _ ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.StartupEventArgs _ ) Handles Me.Startup For Each argument As String In My.Application.CommandLineArgs If argument.ToLower = "/batch" Then ' Stop the start form from loading. e.Cancel = True End If Next If e.Cancel Then ' Call the main routine for windowless operation. Dim c As New BatchApplication c.Main() End If End Sub Class BatchApplication Sub Main() ' Insert code to run without a graphical user interface. End Sub End Class the errors are 1. Type 'CancelEventArgs' is not defined. 2. Event 'Start' cannot be found. ??? any more help :) Thanks Show quoteHide quote "Ken Tucker [MVP]" <vb***@bellsouth.net> wrote in message news:%23Lr9X1UNGHA.3944@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl... > Hi, > > In MyProject -> application tab click on the view application > events.

>>the errors are Based on MSDN documentation, class CancelEventArgs is declared in the >>1. Type 'CancelEventArgs' is not defined. >>2. Event 'Start' cannot be found. Namespace: System.ComponentModel. So please check whether you have used this correct namespace in your project. I hope the above information is helpful for you. Thanks and have a nice day!
