Hi John.

I haven't a clue why rebuilding your DBC would make a form that normally won't close suddenly be able to close!

>My work around is - I place a nodefault in gotfocus. this just happen to be luck that I found this. I have no 'gotfocus' code anywhere in any of my classes.

I'll admit I'm stumped here.
