Hi David,

Thanks for your hint. You got it right on the nose.

I had a shortcut menu in the RightClick method of the textboxes on a grid of customers from which the user selected a report. This called a procedure which did the SELECTing the the REPORT FORM.

Following your reply I removed the shortcut menu from the grid and put the code in a button on the form. This fixed the problem.

Thanks to all for your input, especially Cindy Winegarden who must have the fastest reply in the UT - 3 mins after first post.


Regards,

Liam
