Oops, that was a false memory. That happened in my addactivate method which is called by my baseclass form's Activate. This method call is from within a WITH/ENDWITH. I thought that was somewhat bizarre behaviour at the time and changed it when I found it -- just in case MS decides to fix it in future versions.
