Hi Larry,

I had the same problem. When I tried using the ACTIVATE WINDOW wname that Sylvain suggested, it didn't solve my problem. Did it work for you?

My solution was to put the following before the READ EVENTS statement in my startup VFP prg:

DO FORM app_start
lh_form = _SCREEN.ACTIVEFORM
DECLARE SHORT SetForegroundWindow IN USER32.DLL INTEGER hWnd
=SetForegroundWindow(lh_form.HWnd)

You could also try looking for the thread entitled, "SDI Form Does not get Focus on Instantiation" under Forms&Form designer.

Hope some of this can work for you too if needed.

Mike

ACTIVATE WINDOW MyForm

>>>I have a single form called from a PRG. It is set up as a top level form. I also set _SCREEN.Visible=.f. at the top of my PRG. The problem is that when I run the executable I create I see the form (with no desktop, as desired) but I have to click on the screen to make it active. I have mostly done FPW apps so I'm not that fluent in the basics of VFP 6. What do I need to add to make the form active?
