Thanks for that aqriesser.<br />

For the benefit of anyone else that comes across the same problem.<br />
<br />
After accepting the solution I again got some odd things happening and found the real problem to be related to a 'MessageBox.Show' statement that was done just prior to the Form.Show statement, that I thought was my problem.<br />
<br />
When implementing that bit of code I copied a previously used 'MessageBox.Show' statement that had 'MessageBoxOptions.Service<wbr />Notificati<wbr />on' option. Having that option in my statement was causing a Desktop folder to be placed in front of the dialog shown by 'Show = Me.SystemOptionsForm.ShowD<wbr />ialog()' statement.<br />
<br />
After removing the MessageBoxOptions parameter all started working OK. When I think about it now, I'm not sure why I used that option in my statements in the first place. I guess it would have been another copy/paste!!!!<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

Hi,<br />
When I double click my application in a folder, it is shown behind the actual folder where it resides. I was expecting it to be automatically placed in the foreground.<br />
<br />
Any ideas as to what's happening and how to resolve it?<br />

When I run my application the Main window is shown behind the folder from where I invoked it
