Thats fine. However, the issue with ShowWindow and Top Level Forms having nothing to do with making things more stable or any custom property for that matter. It may make things easier - I just don't understand how the stability issue fits in.

FWIW, I did read his question and all of the responses. The one with reference to toggling the screen visibility to get things to work was rather interesting - and I did respond to that.
