Invisible Form

[manguilla]

Hello again. I currently have 1 Form in my app and I need it to run in the background when I run the .exe. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

You don't have to have ANY forms with VB 6 for the .exe to run. Just set the preferences to start the program with Sub Main, and put the beginning of your code in there.

Is that what you're trying to do?

You could possibly write a windows service.

That sounds like what the OP is trying to do. However, if not, and you need a form, then you can always set it to be invisible after you load it. I would prefer to use sub main personally.

frmMyForm.Visible = False

Using the Sub Main worked great. Thanks everyone.

Out of curiosity.......If you do not intend to use the form for user interaction then why have the form to begin with....not that you understand the Sub Main idea that is.

Thanks
