>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?


I have some code on my Web site that lets you run Win32 API calls from
FoxPro 2.x - it's from an ancient FoxTalk article I wrote a few years back
that implements a thunking layer for calling Win32 API calls. I used it
in many 2.x apps to access the registry.

It's in the Fox 2.x Free section of the site and is called Call32...
