>George, Thank you very much. I see in one of the articles that AppActivate can be used in place of the VFRP run command but do not understand how to do what you are suggesting. Could you possible say more?

Steve,

No, not in place of the VFP RUN command. That was the Shell object's Run method. AppActivate brings the application to the top of the Z-Order and makes it active. In the example in the articles, we used AppActivate in the demonstration of how to use the SendKeys method to send output to notepad.

In your case, you might want to try

oShell.AppActivate('Internet Explorer')
