Strange! Not a solution but I'm just wondering what happens if you let .Show run normally and then suspend? i.e.: >> >>.Show >>DODEFAULT() >>suspend >> >>just curious.

So the problem isn't that the don't show up but rather that they do and then go away. A suggestion would be to enable Trace Events in the debugger and run this code. Then check the resulting event list to see what is firing after the .Show. HTH
