This is a new feature on Win2000. Apps do not automatically get focus when they start. I have added the following to my apps that need to run on Win2000.

*********************** In start up code
app_title = 'My Great App'
lcSaveCaption = _SCREEN.Caption
_SCREEN.Caption = app_title

DO BringToTop WITH app_title


********************************************************
PROCEDURE BringToTop
PARAMETERS tcAppName

*** The following code is required to bring the app to the top
*** and give it focus in Windows 2000

DECLARE SHORT SetWindowPos IN USER32 ;
