Problem in alwaysonbottom

[cslawtom]

Dear All,

Background:
If I open more than one programs in Windows, I could click on the image in the task bar to switch between programs.

I have a VFP program which auto-generate Outlook email. There is no problem to my computer to generate the Outlook email. The Outlook will place to the top.

Problem:
Some of the users are now upgraded the Outlook. If use external program such as VFP to generate email in Outlook, there will be a dialog box prompted out and ask for confirm.

The dialog box might not be a problem if the Outlook could place to the top in the desktop. But unfortunately that, the VFP program is still on top.

I have tried to put "_Screen.alwaysonbottom = .T." in my VFP program. But it seems to be not workable. Now I have also set "thisform.alwaysonbottom = .T.", but has the same result.


I would like to seek for the advices for forcing the VFP program really really to the bottom. Thanks.

It will not matter where Outlook and your program are. This is a security patch that Miscrosoft added to newer versions of Outlook and there is no really easy way around it.

I decided to use a dll called Redemption. You can find out about it here:

There are also a few threads here about it, either in this forum or in the VFP-automation forum.


Hope that helps,

Stewart
