Hi David,

But let's face it - going around shoving MOUSE or WAIT code to get a required result is not exactly kosher for the long run.

VFP5 SP3 doesn't behave that way though and it's basically too slow to use IMHO. I might try adding a MOUSE command in there to move the mouse pointer 1 pixel and see if that helps.
