Thanks, Mike & Dennis. That explanation, Mike, fits pretty well what I am experiencing in a way but R:Base is _my_ foreground window as that’s where I’m aware that I’m working – if you see what I mean.
What doesn’t fit is that in R:Base 9.1 it didn’t happen BUT iTunes has had many minor upgrades so iTunes may have changed since I moved to R:Base 9.5. (I also upgraded to v11 and then went back to v10 so that may have made a difference somehow.) One other thing that I think is true but I’m not sure that it is so every time is that if iTunes is minimised the keystrokes seem to remain with R:Base. I’ll put it down to just another of those weird things computers do that I’ll never understand, Regards, Alastair.

This is a stab in the dark but it is the only reason I can see that another app would capture rbase keystrokes.

The only reason ITunes would be effected is its' message loop is catching the keyboard input. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alastair Burr" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2013 2:22 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Interference with or by iTunes Hi all, Just a stab in the dark this one - has anybody had any occasions when pressing enter or a function key from a form (uncompiled or anything). Sometimes iTunes either restarts the track it's playing or goes back to the first track. I'm not quite sure exactly yet what's happening but before I do more digging I thought I would see if anybody else has already been there. R:Base v9.5 (32) latest & iTunes v10.7 (yes, I know that's not the latest but I like it better than v11). Thanks & regards, Alastair.
