Ha ha. I just tried that. The taskbar is there OK but, if I'm in VFP, and click one of the other apps on the taskbar, I just see an outline of that app jump up from the taskbar, as if restoring therefrom, but it always stays behind the VFP window, which doesn't relent.

I'm surprised I've never seen this complaint by anyone else cos it's bugged me for years!

>>AT some point in the day, and I can never pin-point what I did to cause this, VFP "takes charge" of Windows. For some reason the task bar (which I have as always on top and autohide) will not pop up for me. I have to minimise VFP to get hold of another application. This is particularly boring at the moment as I'm writing a user manual for my system, so have to keep switching between Word, VFP (where I'm progressing thru each stage), Paint (for screen shots etc). It may be that it happens sometimes after I run my app from the IDE. Not sure but sometimes this effect is knocked on top the other open windows so I have to minimise all till I get to my desired window. It's like going back to Windows 3.X.
