Does anyone know how I can make my my VB form show normally in the screen instead of being minimized?

I have created this VB executable which is triggered from a shell command from AutoCAD's built in VBA.

It does everything it is designed to do but it is a little bit annoying the first time it runs.

The reason is that when it runs the first time it is minimized and the user has to always find it and click it just to see it on the screen at normal size.

I have figured out how to make it stay on the screen (normal size) after the first time the user clicks it from a minimized size but the continued necessity for that first click just to make that minimized size show up at normal size on the screen is really the one that is making the program not completely pleasant to use.

I do not know how to do it     -- but I am pretty sure there is someone who knows.

Thank you so much for all the kind help you can give.

Thanks, I was able to figure out the solution to the problem about 10 minutes ago:

I realize now that I needed the vbNormalFocus as the second argument to the Shell function.

My previous code left that second argument blank which caused my program to be minimized.

Said code called from VBA of AutoCAD is shown below:

Sub traversing()
Dim dblS As Double, q As String
q = Chr(34)
dblS = Shell("C:\AUTOCAD-SETUP\Lisp_2000\traverse.exe", vbNormalFocus)
End Sub
