I have a program which was written in VB1, then converted to 3, 4, and
finally 6.
I want some of the forms in the project to show a button in the taskbar, and
ShowInTaskbar is set to true, but there is nothing in the taskbar...
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Remove the vbModal, and the form will appear in the taskbar

Check your borderstyle for your form.
Also I think that there's a property (correct me if I'm wrong) in VB6 that
is called something like "ShowInTaskbar". Make sure that one is set to true.

You're right - it works. Is there a way round this? The form is being called
from within a loop. It needs to be modal, but it also needs the button in
the taskbar...

Set the form.caption = "Something else" in the forms _Resize event. For some
dumb reason, you will then have the modal form appear in your taskbar. I have
used this in VB6.
