I have dealt with a similar problem when moving between VB and PDF.  The
solution is to minimize then maximize and then setFocus.  Ugly, but it
works (Jordan works here so we tested it on his program and it also
works).  I did at one point work out why this works, but can no longer
remember the explanation.

Not yet. Another programmer here has looked into this before and I need
to modify his code so the we can get the text from the emulator from a
broader range of other programs. Initially we used AppActivate in place
of LAPI (which they are working on). But that didn't seem to work when
called from an invisible executable. When the project comes active again
I'll look into DDE's.

thanks,
Jordan
