Desmond, I had one of those @Say forms in one of our projects. When we tested things in Windows Vista, that form had a lot of display issues. That aside, You have a test form that behaves as you expect. This rebuilt form where you've copied all the code from the suspect form, still has the problem. You can get the THISFORM.ActiveObject.Name property to determine what control really has focus. I would probably put that in a Wait Window in the Form.Activate event.
