Forms on Program dont show when installed

[cjsmith411]

I used package and deployment wizard to install an application I wrote. However when i go to run it after installation, it runs but the form does not show up on the screen. When the program starts it loads the main form, on the Form_Load event of the main form i use a form.show vbmodal command to display an user prompt form first. THis is the only thing that seems to differ from programs of the past. It runs fine if i just use the exe file that you can build in VB. If i run the package and deployment wizard and install the program nothing shows up when i go to run it, but it is still running. It does show up in Windows Task Manager. Any ideas?

Maybe errors in the shortcut , try to run the file from the Program files folder

If you use Me.Show vbModal it won't show up in the Taskbar either just leave of the vbModal

Took out the vbModal that seemed to help, I also had some file I/O and forgot to include those files, once I did that helped too. Works now. THANKS!
