Sorry Chris, you are right and your suggestion works — I read and responded too fast.

If I don't explicitly call an app to show choose file, I either don't see the dialog, or the result doesn't get passed back to the original application, or both.

frontmost application is the FRONT app — NOT the calling app.

Therefore the code should return you to any given app you're working in at the time.
