>>It sounds as if the form's LockScreen property is getting set to True and not getting reset to False. The Framework's grid class locks the screen momentarily so the highlight bar doesn't "jump". However, I'm not sure why you would be experiencing this problem...we disable the built-in object all the time with no ill effects (in fact, we do it in every class that I teach and we haven't run into a problem).

Kevin et al,

I figured this out.

Turns out that I set Enabled to .F. as opposed to lEnabled... thanks for the help.
