I have an automatic process running on a PC via the form timer. (The timer is a great tool and works
very well!) The form has a few static text controls that I update values via the EEP in the timer. This works as expected. However, the form pops into focus when ever these static texts get updated. I.E. The form is running in the "back ground" . The user is using Word for example, typing away happily. Then one of of the static text controls on the form gets updated and the form pops up over the Word document . The user becomes aggravated as the timer fires fairly frequently. I want the form to be updated on a regular basis via the timer, so a user can take a quick look at it to see if required information has changed. However, I do not want the form to pop up every time the text gets updated, but only when the user wants to look at it. They can minimize the form to the task bar and all is OK, but I am wondering if there is a method to keep the form from focusing when the text gets updated? Version V8. Thanks -Bob
