Are you using VFP 7?
If so, it's a fox thing. Download last Service Pack: http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/updates.asp



>Not sure if this is a VFP thing, a framework thing (VMP) or a windows/user thing...

>Users have the VFP app open along with Word and maybe another app or two (Groupwise etc). They use the Windows toolbar to toggle between them. Sometimes when they click on the VFP icon on the toolbar, instead of VFP "coming forward" (becoming the top-most Windows app and being the active window), the VFP app maximizes but in some position beneath the previous window eg. if Word was topmost last, then VFP maximizes but it still is in the background. Users resort to minimizing Word to get at the VFP app.

>Any setting for this or just a general Windows bug. Don't really want to get into Windows function calls to bring the window forward.
