>I have created a program in VFP that does not have any forms and does not use the VFP desktop. It is scheduled to run every few minutes in the background with Windows Scheduler to check for data changes at a remote site. It works fine. However, each time it runs it takes away the window focus from any other VFP program which happens to be running at the time.
