How to make external process launch "ontop" of my TopMost forms?

Hi,

I am using System.Diagnostics.Process to launch (shell extension) a process.
I have forms in my application that are specified as "top-most" but I would
like my launched application to be top-most of those forms when it arrives.
At present, it isn't. I have the same trouble with Microsoft Word
automation object - which I create as invisible, use to generate a report
and then make visible. I can't seem to get it to appear on top of my .NET
application!

Any help here please?
Thanks a lot people.

Setting Topmost to false just before you launch should work
