Sorry for late response.

I am actually using using a forms manager but the main problem was a form that was being called by my application and then another form straight afterwards, so a form loaded when the other one closed.

Anyway, I put a work-around in there and that seems to have sorted it.

Thanks
Kev

I would think that generally this would be too drastic but maybe someone who has done it this way will chime in with some details.
