Michael,

Check the Files - Download/Win32 and other APIs for Is_Run.zip, which I've just recently posted (with help from Michel). It will return the window handle so you can manipulate it with ShowWindow(). Two functions are included: Is_Run (for FPW and VFP 3. under Win 3.1) and Is_Run32 (for VFP under Win95 or NT 3.51 or higher).
