You could try the following code:<br />
<br />
Dim frm as Form<br />
<br />
For Each frm In Forms<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;frm.WindowState = vbMinimized<br />
Next frm<br />
<br />
<br />
This program scan through all forms in the desktop and minimize them.<br />

I may have misphrased my question ...<br />
<br />
I want to minimise all open PROGRAM windows on the desktop. Your sample will work well if only my app's forms needed to be minned, but not other (external) apps.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to hearing from you.<br />
<br />

Ooops!!!<br />
<br />
Sorry, I accidentally missed out the 'preserve' keyword in the redim statement about half way through the main routine. &nbsp;Just change the line:<br />
<br />
ReDim lMinimList(UBound(lMinimLi<wbr />st) + 1) <br />
<br />
to read<br />
<br />
ReDim Preserve lMinimList(UBound(lMinimLi<wbr />st) + 1) <br />
<br />
and everything should be fine!!!<br />
<br />
Sorry 'bout that!!<br />

Q: How to minimise all open windows

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
