catch 22 ?- maximise window and bring window to front

I have a user who sometimes cannot get the mouse pointer over to the  
scroll bar on the right of their screen.
( 4d 2004.2 XP client )

I've shown them if they 'maximise' the window (top right XP  icons  
maximise minimise etc) then the scroll bar is then visible  and  also  
that  4d will 'remember' this setting
so when they open next time the bar will show
They have to open a series of windows to get to this one so have  
shown that the 1st should be maximised
then the second etc  till they get to the final one and the scroll  
bar should show on

two things

1. can i force this maximisation of the windows  and how?

2. I run a separate process from this last window.  This attempts to  
bring its window   'to the
front'  - what is the correct way to do this ? It seems that it does  
not always come to the front
possibly when the window is maximised - a catch 22?

what is the best window type to be using to solve both these issues


any thoughts appreciated

thanks

John
