>>>>Is there a way to do this? I have data coming in that gets displayed in a form that is open (one of many) but I do not want it to take focus away from the other forms in an app that are open unless the user intentionally clicks on the form. Whenever I refresh the form (it has two grids of data), it takes focus.
>>>
>>>Are you sure there's no .SetFocus() in the code? Also, when that form is deactivated, was the focus on the grid? Refreshing a grid which has the focus, while busy elsewhere, has some weird side effects sometimes (i.e. I have no clue what it may do, but moving focus off it may help).
>>
>>Pretty sure. I searched through all levels for any setfocus and activate.... I found a way to set focus back to the form that was open and had focus when the other form launches or refreshes the grids. I would rather the updating and efresh of the grid didn't grab focus at all...

>Couldn't it be that you have a setfocus in the grid's superclass on refresh? I know, it wouldn't make sense, but a refresh alone should not activate the form. I have a similar form also with a grid that works well on refresh.
I resolved this in the activate of the form...
