When I load the main form of my MDI application and it doesn't find a
specific registry value, I want to show the Folder dialog box. However,
I want this dialog to be ON TOP of my main form. Performing my checks
and showing the dialog in Form_Load displays the dialog before the main
form is visible. How can show the dialog AFTER the main window is
displayed?

Thanks,

Jason

Try adding
this.show();

in the form_load before you attempt to open the dialog.
