Hi Sally,

Well, I tried SetWindowPos() in 2.6 and it didn't seem to work (at least with the Command window). I do, however, have another idea.

Since you've got foxtools already loaded, try adding this in the Activate event of the form you want on the both:
* Replace "Form On Top" with the caption of
* the form you always want on top
m.whandle = _WFindTitl("Form On Top")
IF m.whandle > 0
  = _WSelect(m.whandle)
ENDIF
Just a bit of a warning, however, you'd better modify the foundation read (or make the forms modal) so that you don't get caught in a loop. The foundation read will fire every time the value of WONTOP() changes. Of course, the second form (unless it's part of what we'd call in VFP a formset) shouldn't have a read clause at all. You'll have to release it from the other form.

If you're interested in further documentation on this and the other functions in Foxtools, download my Extended Foxtools Help file, in the Coding, Syntax & Commands section of the UT files.

hth,
George
