Hi Lisa
In VFP7 in some cases in similar problems helps such code (on program startup)
_screen.AlwaysOnTop = .T.
_screen.AlwaysOnTop = .F.
I do not use Crystal Repors, so I do not know if it is your case. I hope it is.


>Thanks for the tip..I have tried setting _screen.windowstate to 0 before calling .action, then setting it back to 2 after and foxpro immediately takes focus after the action step so that the screen restores automatically. I do not know what else to try. It's driving me and the other programmers here crazy!
