Christof,

I had a feeling you might give me some good stuff to look at *s*

Thanks for the pointers(*gulp* bad pun), that should give me enough to keep me busy for a while.

I have been lurking on Thread #309912 (the one concerning getting an object reference to the method window). Even though a lot of it is new to me, it is making for interesting reading. Was _WOnTop() how you were getting the handle to the window in your first scenario that you discarded?

Thanks again,
Bill
