No, I didn't get that. I use it for launching 3rd party apps in the background from VFP9. I'm not sure I understand what you are doing. If you have one vfp app running, and another vfp app that launches programs and the 2nd vfp app that launches programs is stealing the focus from the 1st vfp app, is that what you meant?
