>I don't know what run_with is. However you say it's something that shellexecutes :)

Yes, its some George Tasker code I found in the code section..
But the point is it uses shell execute.


>BTW I think using ShellExecute's last parameter (showwindow-1) you might not need all these.

I tried the parameters but it has no effect. I should mention it's only some applications that don't make it in front...

>FindWindow supports 2 parameters, window title and class. You could pass only the class (title null-0) and check for mic.des. window.

I checked this out about the class in the help file but I don't understand how it works and what you mean by "check for mic.des. window"..

I also just began to check out CreateProcess API...A VB programmer on my team had luck using this for a similar problem in our vb app..

But I haven't started on that.. Tryed search here for an example in VFP but I
don't see one? Anyone try this out?

Thanks!!
