>My exe in VFP 7.0 requires my users to minimize it before they can click on another application at the bottom of their windows toolbar. If the VFP exe is not minimized the other application will not maximize or become the one that is active. Has anyone else seen a similiar problem occur?

I have seen it happend in development. Take look at Thread #563875. I don't know if there's workaround for runtime.
