Ron,
It might just be that the user click is causing VFP to repaint the whole page bitmap and that makes it kind of come on top of the ActiveX window. I've always avoided putting ActiveX controls in pageframes.
>That is what I came up with last night in thinking on the problem. Any ideas as to why I only have the problem when I chang tabs programatically. That seems to allude to some other foxpro code is kicking in.
