In the past, when I opened Excel through Automation (from Visual FoxPro), it came to the front automatically. I believe that was with an older version of the operating system. Now it doesn't. I suspect this has to do with some security system implemented by newer versions of the operating system itself, in which case not much can be done... but I wanted to check whether this is really the case.
TIA,
Hilmar.
