Try to set the Visible property to false in the constructor of the form and see if that helps.

two ways 1. create one public procedure with any name say "LoadForm()" in that form and put all the code from load event to this procedure and instead of calling frm.show call frm.loadForm() 2. try this in activate event of the form write this.Hide();

Instead of putting this code in the Form.Load event, override the OnLoad method of your form and put it in there. You have much greater control over the form visibility that way. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

Probably the cleanest hack: Set the application to start minimized. Also specify that your application doesn't show in the taskbar. Alex Korchemniy
