Hi, KellyKeeton.

Are you using a WebBrower control?  When I use:

     WebBrowser1.Navigate ("http://www.allapi.net")

A pop-up appears as soon as I navigate to the page.  So a Webbrowser control by default allows pop-ups.  What functionality are you looking for?
If you want to present users with a message after the WebBrowser control has navigated to your Web page, you can use a Message Box:

     WebBrowser1.Navigate ("http://www.allapi.net")
     Do While WebBrowser1.Busy
        DoEvents
    Loop
    MsgBox "You have arrived at the company Web page."

However, it won't be centered over your WebBrowser display area.  If centering is desired, you could add a new form to your project that displays whatever message you wish, and you could position the form as necessary.  Just replace the above Message Box code with:

     Form2.show

And decide if Form2 should be Modal or not:)

this is interesting data, unfortunately still no go. i can seem to get the popup to work but then it just crashes out the webpage its starting a new session i think and closing my current loged in session.

this might be spicific enough that it requires more dev power going to leave open for a but jsut to see if anyone has any ideas.
no resoultion but that is close thanks for the pointers
Sorry we couldn't get a solid fix.  I set my WebBrowser to many sites with JavaScript, Applets, etc., but couldn't duplicate your issue:(
