I simulated that in Visual FoxPro and it works ok. How are you launching that form? Are you using DO FORM Form1? Are you also talking about an EXE or directly from the command prompt?

I would also not suggest such an approach. First of all, no matter how often you'll click on Form2, it will always lost its focus. But, if this is really what you want, then, you should get rid of the timer and put the proper code in the Form2 instead.
