Keeping popup window on top of active form

I want to keep a popup form in front of the active form while the popup is open.

It is a small window that contains address info that the user may want to see while working on the form.

I hope this is easy...I have tried the setparent api but it doesn't work the way I would like it to...It only allows movement within the form... if it is possible they should be able to move it anywhere on the screen.

Thanks...sorry for low points

this will keep it on top of everything

SetWindowPos form.hwnd, HWND_NOTOPMOST, 0&, 0&, 0&, 0&, SWP_NOACTIVATE Or SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE Or SWP_NOREDRAW

here are the constants
Private Const HWND_NOTOPMOST = -2
Private Const HWND_TOPMOST = -1
Private Const HWND_TOP = 0
Private Const SWP_NOSIZE = &H1
Private Const SWP_NOMOVE = &H2
Private Const SWP_NOZORDER = &H4
Private Const SWP_NOREDRAW = &H8
Private Const SWP_NOACTIVATE = &H10
Private Const SWP_NOOWNERZORDER = &H200

make the form show non modal and use this on it
