Thanks for the idea. I will try to reproduce it with from stratch forms rather than using my classes. If it wotks I will keeping adding my controls until it doesn't.

I just went through one week of running down an interaction which prevented comboboxes from firing because I had included a control from a third party which KEYBOARD {END}'s. I hope this is not another of those.
