>The problem is that on some calls to the form, the form is activated, keyboard input works fine but mouse activity does not. If I turn event tracing on I see that the mouseover() event fires on all controls BUT when I press the mouse button the click() event of the form fires instead of the individual controls event.

Gary,

Are you sure you don't have some transparent shape covering the whole form?
