>From my VFP application I am running another executable using ! /N7 xyz.exe. The executable is a background process without a window, but when running the executable it results in losing the focus of the VFP application. So the user must click on the form again to continue working. I try to set the focus to a textbox on the form, but the application itself does not have focus anymore.
>The best would be if the focus would not go away in the first place, but I tried different ways and could not succeed. Any ideas?
You should run ShellExecute instead of RUN, the previous message in this same forum has an example (not working but I think for different motives, you can pretty much use it as is. Message #
