Cetin,

No LockScreen issues, but I did find what corrected the problem. In Page3.Button2.Click was code to set the focus to Grid and set ActivePage = 2. Just for the heck of it I removed the Page2.Grid.SetFocus call and it works fine. Seems like there's a pretty fine line to walk when working with SetFocus, Refresh, ActivePage and Activate... I'm always spending an inordinate amount of time tracking down these types of issues rather than developing it seems...

Thanks for your time on this!
