no apologies necessary... you got it completely right!... Unfortunately your idea doesn't work in Windows 7 and/or in LC v 8.1.9 (I've removed v9 for the time being, so it isn't available to try your idea).

The LC window remains "behind" any other window which I have made the top-most.  Luckily, this version of my utility is for *my* own use ... the user one doesn't need this sort of functionality... and, for the time being, isn't deployed to the Mac/Apple environments at all.

Thanks again .. I enjoy learning about such alternatives... likely, they will come into use in some future project!

Cheers!
Doug
