>This is very strange, but the previous app (written as a COM object) makes the forms always snap to attention both at one time. The forms are part of a formset, so I placed my forms in a formset, thinking that would magically link them and bring them to front together. No such luck. I cannot for the life of me find in his convoluted app where the previous coder is keeping the forms both to the fore front, but no timers are being used that I can see.

>Would COM or formsets make this easier? COM is not an option, actually -- I cannot stand that his app is a COM object, as it makes it impossible to debug and harder to deploy. I was hoping formsets would grab events better and that maybe that was the secret...

Sorry, but I'm not following you.
