Hi Joel,

I do not have code in Activate. Calling dodefault() didn't help either. So, I decided to use brute approach and put set message to thisform.caption in form's GotFocus event. It helped. What is happening in between Activate and GotFocus and why there is a difference between some forms - it's a dark secret...

Anyway, now I'm fighting another bug... Last couple of days nothing works as it should. Now I'm having problem with a label. It just doesn't want to re-calculate its width after I change its caption, though AutoSize = .t.

>>I started recently to use Mere Mortals. I was working few weeks on a Search Form. It now works quite nice, but one thing is bothering me: most of our forms show form's caption in the Status Bar (because in the base form class we have set message to thisform.caption in form's Activate method), but my form and my colleague's Advanced Search form show information about v_User_Logs in the status bar. Do you know, why is it happening? If I do SET NOTIFY CURSOR OFF, I see an empty status bar and my form's caption is not shown.
