Access handles "window handles" (hwnd) differently than VB applications. As you have likely already seen - when you are making Access top most you actually have to make the "Micrsoft Access Application" top-most (not your form within Access), whereas in VB you are making your form topmost. This makes handling of window specific functions (like topmost, or drag & drop) more limiting and difficult to perform reliably. This type of behavior is one of the reasons that activex controls that work fine in VB may not work at all in Access. I've also had varying success with Windows API calls (used in the links you sent) and since they are most often used by people in Visual Studio, rather than Access, it can be difficult to get much support in resolving issues (including the issue that you're having). I did a lot of work in Access many years ago and have done things with Access that most others didn't think was possible (because most developers don't see Access as a real platform, largely because many people that use Access don't know what they heck they're doing!) - it can be a great platform for the right person to develop pretty great solutions in a small timeframe, but it definitely has its limitations... and for your needs I think Visual Studio is a better approach. I'd also recommend you upgrade to .net rather than using VB 6 - you can get the Visual Studio express edition which should meet your needs (http://www.microsoft.com/express/[^].
