I tried this, and instead of the EXE coming to the foreground, the taskbar icon for the EXE starts to blink, alerting me to the fact it wants something (for me to click it?). I thought I read on the Internet somewhere that with Windows 7 and above, Microsoft turned off this ability to make an EXE set the foreground unless it linked its thread to the thread that HAD the foreground (which Tore's code was trying to do... his code actually went into the part of the IF/ELSE/ENDIF that would handle that, but it also would not go to the ForeGround. sigh......... such is life.....

Thanks for helping me out!
