I have a form that runs in the background, and periodically checks to see if there are any new entries in a table (A "To Do"/"Schedule" notification form). My users complain that it "pops up" (gee, imagine that) when they are in the middle of something and they loose keystrokes because of it.

So they want the option to make it become visible, but in the background. They don't want it to become the active form.

I can't figure out how to make this work. Thisform.Visible =.T., makes it active. Thisform.Show(), makes it active... I just want it to become visible, but stay where it is in the focus stack.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
