>I need to bring a running copy of Word forward from VFP. If Word is not minimized, SetForegroundWindow() works great. If it is minimized, the window doesn't come forward. I guess what I really need to do is find out if it's minimized and if it is restore it.

If you know the Word window handle (or can find it via its title and FindWindow) then I think you can use ShowWindow API function to bring the Word window to the front.

Unfortunately I don't have my API reference handy just now.
