Print the form and glue it to your screen B-}

Your ALWAYS can be overridden by another app's ALWAYS,
and that's exactly how it should be, because what would you do
when your computer hangs and your app prevents the{*filter*}
app's system modal message boxes with their buttons from
showing? Shut down your machine and lose everything?

And remember too, if your Always on top form is kinda big and you pop up
another of YOUR forms you might have to make IT always on top too just to
view it over your other "alwayson top" form.  This can be a vicious cycle
:)

Well i found the problem, always on top does not work properly inside vb
environment... It will only be on top of forms that is in the environment..
If an external app is placed over your always on top from inside the
environment, it is canceled, it won't work on other forms inside the
environment.
But it works fine when i run the exe file. so..
