Brian,

you can always pull focus back to the launching form, assuming you are launching the form from a button:

do form XYZ
this.SetFocus()

If it's from some custom method of the form:

thisform.SomeControl.SetFocus()

>Is there a way to DO FORM or CREATEOBJECT("Form") without the form getting the focus? The form must be AlwaysOnTop. I think I just want to skip the activate event, or possible have it return control back to the calling form.
