I "borrowed" some of George Tasker's code to allow an old 2.6 windows program to be able to create a merge file for Word, then instance Word with the merge document. Only problem I have now is FoxPro 2.6 is the active window. I know how to get the file handles using VFP, but don't have any experience using foxtools to bring an application to the fore. Anyone (George) have an idea how/if that can be done?
