Yes the movemouse event with the use of the mousedown event is In fact the answer I was fishing for. The first event the mousemove event seams to fire the lostfocus on the active control. So now when the mousedown fires their is no control active. Now the mouse down event fires and I can test to make shure that nButton = 1 because the two buttons are setting in a command group control the first button is a 1 and the second button in a two. When the mousedown event fires the code calls another button which located in the click event of that button is the code activate a child form. and then we return to the first button after the child form is displayed and the rest of the code in the mousedown event will happen If any and we return to the READ EVENT. It works fine that way. Thanks
