I think that that is the way that it is supposed to work.

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. John W.

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

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)? John W.
