Hi Terry

Yes, that does seem to be what is happening but I do not think it always worked this way. I wondered if something was changed in VFP8 because I never noticed this is previous versions of VFP.

>>Has anyone else noticed that VFP8 SP1 does not always recognize a mouse click.? For example I can sometimes click on a button in my application and nothing happens forcing me to click it again for the button to work. I have never seen this in any other version of VFP but I see it quite often in VFP8.
