[AccessD] VB.Net - seeing the messagebox

>You are using messagebox.show, right?

Yes. It does show up if I click on the program icon representing the windows
form for the VB.Net program, but it will not pop up over (for example)
Outlook if I have that open or Firefox if I have that open.  It also does
not cause the little icon in the toolbar to turn dark blue or flash as some
other programs can cause their toolbar icon to do.

That's odd.  My experiences have always had the message box show up on top
of everything.  You are using messagebox.show, right?

When I run my program, the form immediately pops up, I click a button and
the program starts processing files.  I added a messagebox.show to inform me
when each file finishes (I was timing with a stopwatch) but that message box
does not pop up over the top of everything else.  The program has stopped
and the message is up, but behind everything else and I do not see it unless
I click the form icon in the tool bar.  It doesn't even cause the tool bar
icon for the form to change color or flash.

Is there a way to make it do so (somehow notify me)?
