SetFocus Issue

I need to know if the "SetFocus" function is supposed to bring the window being
called to the front of any/all open windows? I have a application that uses a print
preview app (DocWiz) to print all reports and forms.
I can't get it to be the front most window when I request a print job via a script.
I have tried using the following optons in the script.

WaitWindowOpen>"Windows Name"
SetFocus>"Windows Name"
I used the View System Windows tool to make sure I getting the correct window name.
and I also tried used the WIN_USEHANDLE variable

Part of the script that's using setfocus
Press Enter
Wait>1
SetFocus>CargoPoint Document Viewer
Wait>1
Press Tab * 6
Wait>1
Press Enter
Wait>5
Press Alt
Press F4
Release Alt
Wait>2
Press Alt
Send c
Release Alt

Thanks you help

What happens if you add an asterisk (*) at the end of the SetFocus line?

SetFocus>CargoPoint Document Viewer*

JRL,
Thanks the asterisk (*) did the trick.
