I have an MDI application (written in .NET 2.0) which lets users open multiple child forms. The child forms are always maximized inside the MDI parent. When the MDI parent is maximized and I attempt to do a MessageBox.Show, the MessageBox doesn't show. If I do an alt-tab (or even just press alt) the MessageBox pops to the front. Any ...

While I'm developing my MS Access application, I open it with shift click. When an Error occurs, that is not trapped (by ON ERROR ...), a message box pops up informing me about the error.
