Something like:

*** From your VFP7 routine

oSomething = CreateObject([MyVFP9EXEName.MyVFP9Class])
oSomething.DoSomething()
oSomething.oForm.Show(1)
Declare INTEGER SetForegroundWindow IN WIN32API INTEGER
SetForegroundWindow(ooo.OFORM.hWnd)



*** In VFP9 EXE (it must be EXE if you want to have user interface)
DEFINE CLASS MyVFP9Class AS CUSTOM OLEPUBLIC
    oForm = NULL
    
    PROCEDURE DoSomething()
          SYS(2335,1)
          this.oForm = CREATEOBJECT([Form1])
    ENDPROC
ENDDEFINE


DEFINE CLASS form1 AS form


    DoCreate = .T.
    Caption = "Form1"
    Name = "Form1"
    ShowWindow = 2
    DeskTop = .t.  

    ADD OBJECT label1 AS label WITH ;
        Caption = "Label1", ;
        Height = 17, ;
        Left = 40, ;
        Top = 33, ;
        Width = 251, ;
        Name = "Label1"


    PROCEDURE Init
        thisform.Label1.Caption = VERSION()
    ENDPROC
    PROCEDURE Destroy
*        CLEAR EVENTS
    ENDPROC

ENDDEFINE
*
*-- EndDefine: form1
