Paul: This is what modal is for when you have a pure VFP app. But in my case this is not true. There are other open apps that VFP is 'talking to' as long as the current window doesn't change all is good. But if user activates another window and I am trying to load window 'x' and window 'y' becomes active all quickly goes down hill. I am sure that my users do not know alt+tab as a kbd shortcut... Ok on the message box idea. Thanks for any ideas you have. Regards,

This is what Modal is for, and users must be trained anyway. And, you are treating a symptom. They could still Alt+Tab... My smartass suggestion: display a messagebox: "Press Okay once you've unplugged the mouse". :) Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
