  Hi all,

  I have a problem with application losing focus on closing a modally opened form (I am using ShowDialog to show the form). If I run the application and then keep opening and closing the forms it works fine, but after running the application if I open or set focus to any other application opened (eg word, outlook, Internet explorer etc) on my computer and then go back to my application and close the modal form it closes the form and instead of showing the owner form the whole application loses focus and the last application I was in on my computer shows up. I am using the Visual Studio Express edition (The free version). Is it because of that? Below is my code to open the form

   Dim frm as New Form1
   frm.ShowDialog(Me)
   frm.Close
   frm = Nothing
  
  In the Form1 I added a close button and the code I have in the click event is Me.Hide
  I was reading through some forums and one person said add Me.Owner.Focus() before Me.Hide and still it does not work.
  Any help is appreciated.
  Thanks,
  Rakesh
