>It opens a document. No problem there. When I come back to the listview file icon so to speak "attached" to my cursor. So when I move a cursor everything is ListView moves. It's very odd. It doesn't happend every time but often, and every time I am running Word or Excell document after Notepad document.
>Is anything I need to realease after running the document? Any idea?
Not sure what the problem might be here. You could try using the LockWindowUpdate API to prevent form repainting while some processing is being done.
