App.Instance and .hide

Hi

I was just wondering whether .Hide can effect App.PrevInstance.
Sub Main()

If App.PrevInstance Then
ShowPrevInstance
Else
frmLoginDlg.Show
End If

End Sub

this was in my Main and i have to add a frm.Hide after a function call . And when i try to provoke a the program after i've hidden it. it didn't seem to pop up the hidden window unless i click on the icon in the system tray.

pls help.asap

thanks in advance

Add a 1 after your show command:

frmLoginDlg.Show 1

This forces the window to remain active.

Kool,

thank you mlewis, but i managed to overcome the problem by using vbminimized instead of hide. I found it working. but i still now sure what was the problem with hide and app.previnstance. Eitherway, i will try and use your suggestion next time.

Thanks again for your reply.
