Hi,

>>When my program runs, it opens a form that I call the "program map". It has buttons for the key options in the software.
>>
>>The user clicks a button on the "program map" to run other forms.
>>
>>Although the user can close the "program map" form, most choose to keep it open.
>>
>>Here is the problem: sometimes a single click on a button on the map will work. Sometimes the user needs to click twice for something to happen.
>>
>>How can I get it to react to a single click every time?
>>

I thought the same but a quick check reveals it's not the (simple) case - first click on the button does fire the click event (preceded by the Form.Activate)
