>You have to take care with code in Activate Event. This events is executed each time the form is activated. I mean you have to be carefully when you call another form from this one. For Example a Messagebox, when you close the messagebox Activate Event is fired again.
Plinio, it's actually you should take care about using property-flag(s) in Activate event.
