Make certain your launch Form (first one) is Top-Level; you can also try 'Always on Top' setting but you shouldn't need it, I'd reserve that for Heads-up message forms and the like...

>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.
