Using AC2K

I'm running this code copied straight from the getpoint help example.
this produces a runtime error saying AutoCAD main window is invisible.
the de bug help says "Set the visible property of the application to actrue"
What is this and how is it done?????

[code]
Dim basePnt(0 To 2) As Double
basePnt(0) = 2#: basePnt(1) = 2#: basePnt(2) = 0#
returnPnt = ThisDrawing.Utility.GetPoint(basePnt, "Enter a point: ")
[\code]

Sorry for all the idiot questions! We have a quite time straight after Christmas, so lots of time to kill...

Regards

Wayne

i have encountered this while working in forms. u have to bring the focus to autocad
window by doing 'userform.hide.' and after performing the operations come back to form by 'userform.show.'.. what i have mentioned is one case..just check if u are losing focus
from the autocad window which is reqd. while using the getopint method
