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 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 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.

Matt

Shell "C:\program.exe", vbMaximizedFocus

Once you type the comma you should get a dropdown
