Mark,
The userform gets the focus irrespective of the vbModal value. But this
seems to work :

UserForm1.Show vbModeless
AppActivate Application.Caption

I'm using a form to display some messages, as my process is working. I
have
it set to showModal = false, so that it's just an info message, not
something
that has to be clicked off.

But, every time the message is to be displayed, it does grab focus. Can
this be prevented?
