Force Userform to stay visible and on top?

I have a userform that loads on startup in Outlook 2010. It's only purpose is to remind me to perform an action each time Outlook loads.
I have put the call in the ThisOutlookSession Object in the Application_Startup() routine.

The Userform loads and is visible after Outlook loads all the processes, but then as soon as Outlook reverts to the Main Page (mine is the Mail view) the Userform stays in the background. I have to minimize Outlook to see it.

Others have recommended setting Userform Property Show Modal to False, and using vbModeless property, which did not seem to make a difference.

Any ideas?

Hi parodytx,

First, I know nothing about Outlook, but I do know UserForms. See post #4 in the following thread for a discussion of modal vs non-modal UserForms.

If the name of your UserForm is 'UserForm', you probably want:

This will open the UserForm as modal, locking everything else out (you will not have access to Outlook) until the UserForm is closed. The UserForm should stay on top.

I hope this helps.
