forms showing up in background
hi all,
i have a recurring problem that userforms in my macros show up in the background. i need to use alt-tab to get to them, since they don't show up in the taskbar. does anyone know how i can get my forms to show up in the foreground?
thanks

i have this this problem with x64 vista and vba forms.
the form is behind the sw session, task manager has to be used to access the form, rmb the form in the 'apllication' tab, and 'bring to front'.
this only has to be done once, then the form shows up for the rest of the sw session.
fix by using this method:
thanks luke,
i'm using vba, so those specific examples weren't what i needed, but i found it in the vba section of the angelsix forum. it's a little above my head, but the copy-paste i did seems to have worked.
