Hi Steve, Right now I do this, which works within the same process, but not coming from another process and clicking on the wrong window. Where would I fold in the process ID?
Thanks, Don case of : (Form event=On Deactivate) & (bCnDlg=0) & (bOKdlg=0) & (bPrint=0) & (bMyCnfmOption=0) If (Current process=Frontmost process) BRING TO FRONT(Current process) End if end case ----- >Don, > >For situation #1, simply put code in the "On Deactivate" form event and >make the window come back to the front.
