Setting "parent windows" in [vb?]

If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated...

I am working with a piece of Software called MapInfo, and using another piece of software called MapBasic which is able to create front ends for some GIS (Geographical Info. Systems) databases.

Now this MapInfo displays the diagrams etc but it links to MS Word/Excel.

The problem i am having is that when the front end runs MS Word is automatically being put "ontop" on MapInfo on the screen.

What i am looking for is any solutions anyone might have as to how to set MapInfo as the "parent" window in this MapBasic code for the front end.

Thanks in advance...

Matt

Question 3rd way

Hey Matt,

Wow. Too much work involved to get MapInfo Pro v7 (got to register to get username/password for download etc.,) so I can't help much other than to suggest a third approach.

Code:
Private Sub object_LostFocus()
object.SetFocus
End Sub


You could use VB to launch MapInfo and bring it into focus whenever the focus is changed... ie., object.setfocus other than that, I don'tk now MapBasic at all.
