When I refer to "Focus", I am mean the Active Window (I'm not sure of the proper terminology).

When this code runs, the Focus goes to somewhere other than "The DownLoader".

When complete, I want the Focus to be on "The DownLoader".

Can someone explain how this is done?

Code:
#M::
IfWinExist MetaStock Professional
{
MsgBox,0,,MetaStock is Running
   IfWinExist The DownLoader
   {
   MsgBox,0,,The DownLoader is running
   } 
   else
   {
   Run C:\Program Files\Equis\The DownLoader\Dlwin.exe, C:\Program Files\Equis\The DownLoader\
   Return
   }
}
else
{
   Run C:\Program Files\Equis\MetaStock\Mswin.exe,,max
   WinWaitActive MetaStock Professional,,5
   Run C:\Program Files\Equis\The DownLoader\Dlwin.exe, C:\Program Files\Equis\The DownLoader\
   WinWaitActive The DownLoader,,50
; MsgBox,0,,Activating the Downloader
   WinActivate The DownLoader
   Return
}

Code:
#M::
  IfWinExist, MetaStock Professional
  {
    MsgBox,0,,MetaStock is Running,1

    IfWinExist The DownLoader
      MsgBox,0,,The DownLoader is running,1
    Else
    {
      Run C:\Program Files\Equis\The DownLoader\Dlwin.exe, C:\Program Files\Equis\The DownLoader\
      WinWait, The DownLoader
    }
  }
  Else
  {
    Run C:\Program Files\Equis\MetaStock\Mswin.exe,,max
    WinWaitActive, MetaStock Professional

    Run C:\Program Files\Equis\The DownLoader\Dlwin.exe, C:\Program Files\Equis\The DownLoader\
    WinWait, The DownLoader
  }
  WinActivate, The DownLoader
  WinWaitActive, The DownLoader
  MsgBox,0,,The Downloader is now Active!,1
Return


Make sure it works first, and then if need be i'll (or someone) will explain it

Ps: Use [code]<your code here>[/(slash)code] to put code in scrolling window

The term WinWaitExist produces a syntax error.

One more point of interest here...The DownLoader Window is not active with my original code, but the DownLoader "item" in the Taskbar is active. When I move my mouse over the "item" in the Taskbar, The DownLoader Window becomes active. Strange...

Sorry, that should be just "WinWait" (i have made the correction)

You mean it's loaded as "minimized" to the taskbar? (ie "becomes" just a "button")?
When move (not click?) mouse over the button, does it then pop-up as a window?

Oh, thank you! It works fine now, just like I wanted.

FYI, I had to change two lines of code back to the original way I had them, as follows:

Run C:\Program Files\Equis\MetaStock\Mswin.exe,,max
WinWaitActive MetaStock Professional,,5
Run C:\Program Files\Equis\The DownLoader\Dlwin.exe, C:\Program Files\Equis\The DownLoader\
WinWaitActive The DownLoader,,50

Without the 5 and 50 at the end of the second and fourth line, "The DownLoader" didn't get executed.

Thanks again for your help...
