Regardless of what button I click, whether it is the one which
the .SetFocus() was applied or another one, that button only
receives the focus. I does visually click and the code even
executes as I've debugged it, put wait windows in and know that
it executes, it just doesn't release until I click again. Also,
it doesn't matter what button is clicked the 2nd time. Thanks
for your reply. I haven't figured this one out yet.
