LOCAL hCalc
 
DO WHILE .T.
    hCalc = FindWindow(NULL, "Calculator")
    IF hCalc = 0

My comment:
The parent window for the Windows calculator is usually the Windows Desktop. Changing it to the _screen.HWND makes the calculator confined inside the main VFP window.

SciCalc is the window class for the Calculator.
