frmMain.ZOrder vbBringToFront

or

AppActivate Titlebar Contents of App Here

I don't know what works in VB5

but AppActivate doesn't un minimize a minimized app.

Const HWND_TOPMOST = -1
Const HWND_NOTOPMOST = -2
Const SWP_NOSIZE = &H1
Const SWP_NOMOVE = &H2
Const SWP_NOACTIVATE = &H10
Const SWP_SHOWWINDOW = &H40
Private Declare Sub SetWindowPos Lib "User32" ( _
	ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, _
	ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long, _
	ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, _
	ByVal wFlags As Long)

Private Sub Form_Activate()
	 	 'Set the window position to topmost
	 SetWindowPos Me.hWnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOACTIVATE Or SWP_SHOWWINDOW Or SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE
End Sub
