Wayne,

If you put a thisform.release() in the click event of your WaitWind form, as well as a thisform.release in the lostfocus event of the same form, it should emulate the behaivour your are describing, because when you click in the form, is released by the click event, if you click outside the form, it will lose focus and be released because of the thisform.release() in the lostfocus event. No need to put code in the click or keypress event of any other object, just your form!

Probably i am missing something!
