open Form ontopmost of all windows

First, I want to thank all that had help in my previous posts, but I
still got 2 questions:

1. How to force a form to open from Access to popup ontop of all other
applications? Is this possible?

"Yes, this is possible. For example the Task Manager form does this. I
inspected it, and it appears it's due to the WS_EX_TOPMOST extended
window style, which you
can set with the SetWindowPos API. " (From Tom)

I am little slow in programming VB, can someone help how to code this
under OnOpenEvent ?

2. If Access is closed, because I kicked users out to do a maintenance
on the DB, then, how may I let them know once the update is complete?
(Now Access is not running, no IM program. I guess Task Manager with
a trigger may work, but how to define that trigger? What exactly is
Task Manager Form anyway, how do one create one?)

Thanks in advance,
Perry
