Before anything else happens, save the hWnd of MyApp's Window somewhere; no need to search for it, since you either have an hWnd property in VFP7, or can get it with the API or FOXTOOLS. When your app needs to be at the top, ShowWindow() to make it normal, and then SetForegroundWindow(), both using the hWnd you saved to start. No need to 'find' a Window at all...
