Bringing an MC app to the front

I have two MC-based apps in which one causes the other to open documents
within it.
Thanks to the discussion here before, I have good communication beteen the
apps (Apple events on Mac, polling a file on Win).
Now the problem is that if the second app is already open, it opens
documents okay but stays in the background.
How can I hae one MC-based app bring another one to the front?
I've tried:
get "tell application" && quote & tAppName & quote && "to activate"
do it as applescript
Even though the value of tAppName is correct, the reult comes back
"execution error". Do I need to build an AppleScript dictionary entry for
"activate" for that to work? Earler discussion here made it seem somehow
simpler...
