>I have an application that I need to bring to the front of all other applications on the desktop. It is an alert form triggered with a timer. How can I make this happen.

Hi, Gene!

You can use WinAPI function SetForegroundWindow.
This function requires only one parameter - the handle of your application
window - hWnd
Declare it in the someplace within your application and call it when
You need (in the Taimer event) to bring your application window to front

Declare Integer SetForegroundWindow In user32 Integer hWFnd
...
...

= SetForegroundWindow(hWFnd)

(hWnd is a reserved VFP word so I use this name - hWFnd)

You can see an example at Anatoliy Mogylevets web-site www.news2news.com
