Shared Sub main() Dim f As New Form1 f.TopMost = True Application.Run(f) End Sub What's you code? Armin Armin,
I have done that... and it still didn't work... just to make sure.. I added a form... form2 with nothing on it.... called this from my sub main().... and it worked correctly.... went back to form1 and made sure nothing was running on form_load event and still have the same problem. I've gone through the form.designer.vb and tried to find something there and could not.... Any other suggestions..

What do you expect from topmost? If there are other topmost-windows, they are handled equally, that means, they have their own z-order. Maybe yours is covered by another topmost window? (though I don't think it is) Armin Hello Armin...
this is what I have found so far... I have it working now.... but seems strange i had to do this... in my form class I had two database connections being delcared.... dim objDB1 as MycnDB1 = New SQLDB dim objDB2 as MycnDB2 = New ORADB these would create the object and in those classes the only thing i was doing at the time is creating a connection to the database. I removed these and put them in a button control. Not sure why, by removing these from being accessable to the form1 class I was able to put form as topmost. Now.. On my button control.. I have all the code there. Thanks for your help though.... Maybe someone with a detailed knowledge of DOTNET would be able to explain this?

the Form without calling InitializeComponent? In VB 2008, whenever I enter "Sub New<enter>" the automatically generated sub already includes a call to InitializeComponent. Or you've added an overloaded constructor without calling MyClass.New? Armin I have missed that one from Herfried and you for years

actually set my form to be the startup object... and for some reason.. topmost on the form does not work... .. I've enabled application framework and still nothing...
