    Something wrong w/ form?

    i was working on disguising my app as a screensaver to disable the crtl alt del controls. i set the module up. but it didn't work. i did this to test if the form was working properly
    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub Form_Load()
    2. frmAbout.Show
    3. End Sub
    the form did not load. is there anything i can check to see where the problem is.the form is maximized w/ no ControlBox
    I'm a beginner.

    I know this is really basic but make sure the forms visible property is set to true

    originally the main form load looked like this
    VB Code:
    1. private sub frmsecure_load()
    2. Call EnableTaskKeys(False)
    3. end sub
    that was to call the module to end the ctr alt del function. this did not get rid of the function.so to do a test to see if there was something wrong w/ the form i did
    VB Code:
    1. private sub frmsecure_load()
    2. frmabout.show
    3. endsub
    and the about form did not show...or maybe it did show but behind the main app which is not moveable, theres no ControlBox, and it is maximized.
    I'm a beginner.

    to ensure that the about form isnt hidden behind the other you could place this after the show statement

    VB Code:
    1. frmabout.setfocus
