Bonnie,
I don't know why our results differed. Did you have some code in the GotFocus of the form?

Instead of using EventTracking, I added StrToFile() commands in each method/event I wanted to track (Show is a method and is not available to Eventlist). My output file looks like this:

Form Init fired: 40054.094
Activate fired: 40054.094
Gotfocus fired: 40054.094
Combo Gotfocus fired: 40054.094
Another Init line fired: 40054.094
Show fired: 40054.094

The numbers represent seconds since midnight.
