Hello, in form 1, I have a button which has an event handler that executes the code below. when the button is clicked, Form2.aspx opens in a new window. Form 2 opens and minimizes itself automatically. the user has to click on it in the taskbar to maximize. Please help. Dim url As String = "Form2.aspx?Name=" & txtName.Text.Trim Dim fullURL As String = "window.open('" & url & "', '_blank', 'height=250,width=1000,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,titlebar=no');" ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Me, GetType(String), "OPEN_WINDOW", fullURL, True)
