Hi Rhodri,

That's what I thought. I initially tired it, but, for some reason when I put similar code in, my form kept erroring out with a message saying something along the lines like I can't change the modality.

In a nuthell, the Option#.SetFocus() was causing my form to execute some other method code that caused problems. If I don't Option#.SetFocus(), no problems (except for the selection rectangle issue).

I'm going to try the same from the form Activate() to see if I can get around the issues.

Thanks for your input.

Mike
