The FAQ I've posted at the following link will give you what you need...

Force Window to Front (not blink in taskbar)
http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=4262

...all you need to know is the caption of your Word document (replace the _screen.caption in the code with the caption of the window you wish to bring to the front).

>Hello. I'm having trouble finding code that will maximize a window(or making a window active) that's minimized on the taskbar. The window that i'm trying to maximize is a MS Word document that is opened within my Foxpro 6 application. The word document is a help manual for the FoxPro application and is opened when the user presses the F1 key. If the document is already opened, I don't want another instance of the word document on the taskbar if the user presses F1, and would rather maximize the existing Word document. One site was opposed to the SwitchToThisWindow function because it might not be available in subsequent versions of windows. Does anybody know any alternative solutions that I could use instead of the SwtichToThisWindow function? Any help is greatly appreciated.
