Hi Tim,

You need to pass the known portion of the title bar, not the file name. For example: lnhWnd = Is_Run32("Microsoft Visual FoxPro"). The function is case insensitive, and you don't need the complete title. Just passing "Visual FoxPro" or "FoxPro" will work as well.

I resisted the urge to watch TNG for years, but I was channel surfing one evening and came upon it and became an avid fan. Don't closely follow either DS9 or Voyager, though.
