I don't log to a file, I route the messages to the Debug Output window.

If a control actually does have focus _screen.ActiveForm.ActiveControl.Name should have a value. You should watch that expression in the debugger.

That makes me think that an object has it that I am unable to see. I tried ActiveControl, but it seems unreliable and doesn't have value at the time I need to know what it is.
