You're starting a separate executable and Window that runs disjoint from the first application, and you've done nothing to coordinate the two apps or establish which will be the foreground task. There are a number of API calls related to establishing the ZOrder of various application's top-level Windows such as ShowWindow(), SetActiveWindow(), SetForegroundWindow() and the like; you'll need to experiment with them. There's no provision internal to VFP using only native VFP code to coordinate the separate processes.

If you want to run the second executable with an apparent Modal behavior relative to the first, you might experiment with using my API_APPRUN class in the Files Section; it has the ability to start a WinApp and wait on it's termination before returning to the calling VFP app, unlike run with the /N switches. You also might want to look at using The Windows Script Host's Wscript.Shell object; it can start (and wait on termination if desired) a WinApp, and can cause the activation of an app based on the primary Window's titlebar for a given application. There are links in my signature block to several WSH resource sites.
