That worked great, thanks! I have to say that most of my work has been web based scripting and php/mysql I also had some experience with VBA which is definetly not vb. &nbsp;So what would be a good resource to get me started with vb? &nbsp;I find the ide to be a bit intimidating.<br />

I'm building an extremely simple application to go along with a internet app I'm building. <br />
<br />
I've created a form with a webbrowser control on it and specified the ulr it goes to. I dont have any other buttons or controls on it. Everything else is inside the webpage. I just want to be able to do two things. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Minimize it to the tray<br />
provide a popup or maximize it when the page in the control is updated. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I'm completely new to Vb. I'm using visual studio 2005<br />
This is my first app and most of this looks like greek to me. <br />
<br />
Speak very, very slowly!
