You can use several constants for the Buttons parameter of the VB MsgBox function. There is one, which is listed in the Windows documentation, but is not available in VB (at least not in VB 5.0): MB_TOPMOST. This constant is usefull in combination with MB_SETFOREGROUND to get your MsgBox in front of all your windows even when you use topmost windows. MB_SETFOREGROUND is in VB: VbMsgBoxSetForeground. MB_TOPMOST you have to define yourself, like: Private Const vbMsgBoxTopMost As Long = &H40000 Tip submitted by Hugo de Vreugd
