Jim already addressed your post, mine will just talk about a particular situation I experienced with two forms in the main VFP window. I was having problems activating another form that was created in the init of a main form (sort of like a child form). This child form was being positioned relative to the coordinates of the first form. The thing was that I could not activate that child window with the normal 'Activate Window'. The solution wasn't very pretty but it did the trick for me:

Mouse Click At 1, 1 Window ChildName

There will probably be several critics on this post.
