Odd problem with Me.Hide() and Me.Visible = False

For some reason, Me.Hide() and Me.Visible=False doesn't work! In my
form_load method, the very fist statement is Me.Hide() but the form
shows. So I tried Me.Visible = False and the form still shows. I've
even tried hiding the form from another form using frmMainForm.Hide()
or frmMainForm.Visible = False and the form still shows.

Any idea what might be going on here?

Thanks!

Anthony,

I was forgotten the solution for this problem, but it is easy.

Set the opacity to zero

Opacity = 0

The problem is that you first decide to show a Form, then you decide not to
show it. Decide before once.

Are you using VS2008?
Try putting Me.Hide() in the Activated event procedure. It works for me
here.
