When the command "Set Window MapInfo Front" is not working, try the Win-API
call:
rc = SetForegroundWindow(WindowInfo(WIN_MAPINFO, WIN_INFO_WND))
Where rc i an integer an the declaration of the api goes:
Declare Function SetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" Alias
"SetForegroundWindow" (ByVal hwnd as integer) as integer
This always brings me back with MI in front, after a MB dialogbox is
pressed ok, or if I return from a DDE talk within Access. It works both for
modal and non modal forms.
Modal form: like MapBasic dialogs. The form (dialog) locks all other
activity in the active application, until released
Non modal form: like external applications or modeless form dll's. The user
can switch away from the form like Vertical Mappers Layer Manager.

I'm not sure what you are doing differently to me, but I am running a EXE
files from MapInfo with the command:
Run Program ProgToRun
and on certain conditions I bring MapInfo back to the front (& focus) with
the command:
Set Window MapInfo Front
This has worked fine for 3 years with Windows 95, 98 & Win 2000. The only
thing I am not sure about is "This application appears modal to MapInfo"...
That might be different to me - I've forgotten what modal & non-modal are,
or more correctly which is which.
