>I'd like to remind you that Browse did that - keep a browse window active, do something with another WA in another window (command window, if you like), then briefly activate the browse window and get back. Guess which table is selected.

It would have been nice if this behavior was documented, at least. And it doesn't seem necessary. If VFP needs its own WA to be active when browsing (including browsing in a grid), why can't it just use its own internal WA and not fool with mine?? :)
