VB6 Active Program Windows -

Hello Everybody

Alright... I'm trying to build a simple "MSN User-Is-Online" thingny for mIRC, using VB 6.0, and everything is perfect, except one thing. When I load my Notify.exe, it gets "Active". In other words, say if I have mIRC.exe running, when I'm gonna start launch my notify.exe, mirc.exe won't be active anymore, therefore, if I make a copy of the MSN thingny, everytime a user qill come on mIRC, I will have to click on the mIRC.exe window to make it active again ... is there a way, of making my notify.exe not active on load ?! So that mIRC.exe stays active all the time ?!

Thanx Louispg
