Hi!
Check out the LockScreen property. It seems it is set to .T. than to .F. somewhere. Similar problem might come also from the LockWindowUpdates() API function call.
Finally, if you occasionally used NODEFAULT in the REFRESH event of the form or some control......
HTH.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs
It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
