Robert,

I don't blame you. I'd do the same. If you're interested it trying another API shot, try this...

Rather than using SetWindowPos(), I'd try SetForegroundWindow(). I'm not sure (off the top of my head) if the relation between the VFP screen is such that FindWindow() would work. If the top-level is a child window of the _SCREEN, it won't work. I investigated this once, and I don't think that it is, but I'm not 100% sure. Anyway, I digress...here's what I'd try: Load Foxtools and get the window handle of the form using -

lnhwnd = _WhTohWnd(_WFindTitl(< form caption >))

then

DECLARE INTEGER SetForegroundWindow IN Win32API;
  INTEGER hWnd
= SetForegroundWindow(lnhwnd)

It may, however, be a Win2K issue. I don't know.
