It's 2.6, so the DECLARE notation isn't available, and the obvious problems of knowing the hWnd of each instance, and more importantly, the lack of a 16 bit implementation of SetForegroundWindow (FPW can call Win16 DLLs without a problem, but the API call here is made via a Win32 DLL)

He may be able to get at Win16 equivalents via FoxTools' REGFN() and CallFN() commands, but the problem still remains of how to identify the hWnd of each running instance.
