I'm trying to focus and bring a window with an unknown caption/title to the front. The window is in a clinical application that we use, so I don't think there's any way I can do it inside the framework, as we get this application from a vendor. The window will always start with "Member - ". I have code below that I have used in the past to find a window and focus it when I know exactly what the title is.. but in this case I don't know what the title is. Does anyone know of another API call that I can use to search through all windows and compare their titles as text to see if any of them match the text I'm trying to compare with?

border of that said window so the only place the mouse can't click the titlebar and the minimize,restore, and maximize button. The height of the titlebar depends on what OS the user is using so I'm having trouble because I can't give a definite value for this. How do I detect the height. and also for border i'm not sure if the borders have different widths with different operating systems. I'm using windows XP on classic mode, when I change to the themed mode, the height of the title bar changes so it won't work.

Using Access 2003 and VB code, I have created a form with a number of labels. The labels will display an employee's names. I have named the labels name1, name2, name3...etc. Using an ADO data set and DCount I have determined the number of names in an Access table (the number of names can vary). What I want to do is for each record in succession to pick the first name and surname from the data set , combine them into a full name (this part has been successful), and then set the full name into the label caption in succession. Example: full name 1 into name1, full name 2 into name2, full name 3 into name3... until all names appear as labels on the form.
I created a counter to and a variable to increment the label number but when I address the caption property of the variable containing the new label (e.g. name1, name2..etc.) it throws an errer at runtime. Here is the code:
