Is this ok ???

DECLARE INTEGER FindWindow IN user32 STRING lpClassName, STRING lpWindowName
DECLARE INTEGER BringWindowToTop IN user32 INTEGER hWindow

hWnd = FindWindow(Null, Thisform.Caption)
BringWindowToTop(hWnd)

and place it in the forms ACTIVATE in question, to force it to the FRONT of the other EXE's running ??

Thanks a bunch!
