I have Windows 7 and Vista on different partitions and need to make Win 7 partition larger...
Is it safe to enlarge an active partition?

there might be some tools that can do this also on active partition, but everytime you change disk setup: !!! BACKUP !!! BACKUP !!! BACKUP !!!

It can be done, but I would be extremely careful.
I use a Ubuntu live boot CD to manage my partitions. Ubuntu comes with
GParted which will allow you to resize your partitions.
It will also let you format any partition on your drive, so be careful.
Yes, it's safe. Here's a tutorial: http://www.nirmaltv.com/2009/05/12/how-to-resize-disk-partition-in-windows-7/
As stated previously it's always a good idea to backup, but if you're only increasing/decreasing the size of the partition you should be OK.
