>>>I'm looking for a way to programmatically maximize a program window from VFP. I have an app that finds a client record, then opens a DDE link to GoldMine (a contact manager) and displays the same client record there. I then use SetForegroundWindow() call to set focus to GoldMine. Unfortunately, if GoldMine is minimized, focus is set to a minimized program and the user thinks nothing has happened.

>Thank you, but I already have the SetForegroundWindow() function working. It's documentation mentions the SendMessage() function but I have not been able to get it to work or to find a list of #DEFINE statements for it.

Try SW_MAXIMIZE (3) with ShowWindow().
