Okay -
Right off the bat I would suggest that the _SCREEN caption for each VFP window be assigned a unique name. Then use the findwindow function and the caption of the window you want to activate to isolate that window's hWnd. Then fire your hWnd activators.

declare integer FindWindow in win32api integer nullpointer, string cwindow_name

The PITA would be designating the screen names for each VFP window.
