<<< I am with you; it would be a very welcomed enhancement.

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.

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
