I had remove hForm.SetFocus() before, because I suspected the same, but 
that was yesterday, before your bugfix.

I use the OpenPage() routine, so it opens a form if it isn't on the 
workspace yet, or it lets a form gets focus (in front) when it was 
already added before.
So I always have 1 form of each name opened ones, and not more than once.

But I needed that hForm.SetFocus() call to let my application work ok, 
which I found strange to begin with, the Workspace1.Activewindow = hForm 
should be enough, but it seems that one of your bugfixes fixed that too, 
so hForm.SetFocus() isn't needed anymore to get a window in front.

Even better! Thanks.

Ron the 2nd.
