Hi Marcia, I have been experiencing this as well and will try implementing this solution today,

I have one question about your reply below - Why do you say 'tsk, tsk, tsk' if using base classes? We have a framework of base classes that we use - I thought this was good programming practice, or maybe I am misunderstanding.

Thanks Marcia,

David

The background form can be moved around, but nothing executes like button pushes etc, and the foreground form that should have the focus decides to play dead.
