I never liked programs forcing themselves to the foreground (Builder is one culprit that used to drive me mad, another was Lotus Notes). Flashing their icon a few times is enough IMO. It lets me know they want attention but lets me get round to servicing them in my own time. Please Juan, unless you're writing software to monitor nuclear powerstation cores ask yourself if your users really will want to be interrupted by your application demanding attention. Most of the time IMO it's just rude. Andrue Cope [Bicester, UK]
