I cannot reproduce it, and currently the return value of AllowSetForegroundWindow is not checked. But, according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms632668(VS.85).aspx the function will fail if the calling process cannot set the foreground window. So it's possible that you're invoking emacsclient at at moment when it's unable to set the foreground window, for example if the foreground lock timeout has not expired. All in all, trying to make emacsclient give focus to emacs is never going to be 100% reliable. =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Juanma
