"Open On Top"

[Roger J]

We use a appointment/calendar program called "OnTime" from
OpenText. When a user sets an appoinment with a reminder
to open at some time prior to the appointment, the
reminder window opens BEHIND and open apps. There is no
option in the program to tell it to open the reminder
window ON TOP of any open apps. Is there some registry
hack that I could do to tell the reminder window to open
on top of all open apps. I have contacted the tech people
at OpenText who tell me that this has been requested, but
they have no plans currently to add this option. Any help
would be appreciated.

TIA

Wow, that's some pretty lame software. What good is a
hidden reminder??

Best advice: dump their stupid program and get one that
works properly.

Then you should find an application whose authors are responsive to
"bugs" or idiocies in their software IMHO.

This is the author's responsibility and there is little you can do
about it.
