   In that regard, you are correct. But, that method only changes the   
   word Paradox to some other title.   
      
   I need the name in the title bar of Paradox's active child window   
   because the user may have multiple Paradox forms open. The application   
   needs to read the active child window name so it can take appropriate   
   action based on which form the user is currently using. Different   
   forms require slightly different actions. I could change the   
   application so that it would ask the user if they have mutliple   
   Paradox forms open and which form they are currently using, but with   
   Paradox 8 getting the title of the active child window via the OS and   
   then taking the appropriate action was completely transparent to the   
   User.
