>>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?? :)

_you_ clicked the grid/browse, now it's yours :)

All kidding aside, this is one of the things which had to become second nature to me when I open three browse windows to check for some results while testing - keeping myself oriented in WAs was... well, pretty disorienting until it became a second nature to me. And I'm lucky being sufficiently aged in Fox - I know some people who didn't quite know what's going on, and zapped the wrong table, with several months worth of financial data.
