Bob,

tried it to no avail - in fact - even with only one form - I can't make focus stick to anything from within the NodeClick method/event. It always comes back to the treeview and "clicked on" node.

>This could be an activex issue. try changing focus from the activex treeview control to some other control on your form, and then calling the non-modal form. If the treeview doesn't have focus, it may not ask for it back.

The idea is that the user can click on the record when they see it in the tree and this will bring up another form where they can edit the record. All works fine except that after the second form comes up - focus always goes back to the form with the treeview.

Note that doing the same thing from a simple command button on the tree form works correctly - leaving focus on 2nd form.
