This also does happen to us as well in a Win 7 and 9.1 Environment. What I have told all my users to do is when they think the application is locked up to do an ALT-TAB quickly twice in a row, it will switch applications out and then back into RBase and any pause/dialogs will come back to the front. This has cut the number of task kills down quite a bit. Some (but not all) of the reasons this seems to occur for us, is if I call for Acrobat reader to display a pdf inside a form (or using IExplorer). By calling an external program you can lose focus in RBase.
Maybe we can request an enhancement for pause/dialog to also have the TOPMOST property ? n Frank Frank Taylor - Information Technology Administrator F.J. O'Hara & Sons, Inc - Araho Transfer Inc.

Are these problems happening in both 7.6 and 9.1 versions?

This does not happen regularly but happens enough to be annoying, because I have to kill the app. This never happened on an XP computer. Maybe it is something to do with Windows 7. Tom Hart
