>I am using the createprocess function in a VFP menu program to call other windows applications. I am passing a parameter to maximize the window of the called app. In one application in particular - a vfp program- the app starts but on some network machines the new app appears on the taskbar rather than as a maximized app. Is there something I can do to avoid this. I am using code based on the Run and Wait (file 703) available in the WinAPI section but with the run and return portion removed. Thanks.

Check to make sure that the application being called either has the foxuser file built in, or that SET RESOURCE is off in the application. My guess is that the state of the main window in the called app is being remembered by the foxuser file, and is initializing while minimized.
