Make message box topmost
i have an app that has no UI, no forms at all, but sometimes presents a messagebox
sometimes the messagebox present over the top of all windows (desired effect)
but most times is just in the taskbar
suggestions for best method to always get the desired effect
i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next
dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part
come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

Msgbox "Hello Vb-World!", vbSystemModal + vbExclamation, "From Matt"
vbSystemModal should do that...I think 
There is also an API solution in the link,
Please remember next time...elections matter!

Your lucky the "why didn't you look it up yourself" - "you need to develop web searching skills" police here didn't attack you. It appears they mainly go after new posters
