>>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?
