Does the invisible window cover the whole screen by any chance? If so, what happens to any other program running "beneath" the invisible window when you attempt to click on it with the mouse to pick it to the top of the pile?
I remember a program I wrote for Dilwyn some years ago (I can't remember the name of it though!) which opened a full-screen window for some reason, which effectively disabled using the pointer to pick the other running programs.
Dilwyn wasn't best pleased! :-) Cheers, Norm. -- Norman Dunbar Dunbar IT Consultants Ltd Registered address: Thorpe House 61 Richardshaw Lane Pudsey West Yorkshire United Kingdom LS28 7EL Company Number: 05132767 _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
