Naomi,
I test in my command window and I do not need ShowWindow after BringWindowToTop, this code works fine for me
DECLARE SHORT BringWindowToTop IN WIN32API INTEGER HWND
loExcel = Createobject('Excel.Application')
loExcel.Visible = .T.
BringWindowToTop(loExcel.Hwnd)Sorry about the Sleep code, I do not understand what you need to do there, but... I have an idea, let me test it and I come back to you.
>Hugo,

>Good point, thanks. One less API call. I found I still need ShowWindow after BringWindowToTop though.
>
>Still it doesn't help with sleep/do while code. Do you have more ideas?
>
>Thanks again for the Excel hwnd suggestion.
