I tried ShellExecute, but I get the same result.

The new EXE starts behind the application.

Any way for the new EXE to force itself to be in focus ?

I used to use this code in the main forms Init method:

Declare integer SetForegroundWindow in User32.dll Integer

SetForegroundWindow(this.HWnd)

But this is not working, maybe because I am on W7/64 computer ?

Thanks,

Kent
