Hi all
We occasionally find that after a form closes the main VFP/application close button is disabled. Clicking anywhere outside the application (e.g. on the windows desktop or another open application) and then clicking on the VFP/application desktop renders the close button useable again. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what might be causing this behaviour? Has anybody else come across this behaviour?
Thanks
Paul Newton

Yup, see it quite often. Especially if the app is installed on a Win2000
system. (VFP 9 sp2)
No idea why, would love to find an answer as it is very annoying.

Mike, +1 here for that. I only have one Win2K machine on the network and it is always that one which causes the same problem. The other Win 7 machines have never shown the same problem ... yet!

Paul,
The only other occurrences I have had on this is where the "Z Order" gets screwed up by VFP and there is a modal dialogue in front of a non modal form which has focus... No idea why or how this happens but cycling between the forms using CTRL/F1 until the correct form is "on top" usually sorts it out

I have seen that as well but this is happening when there are no forms open on the desktop ...

It does seem to help if there is a related, maximized VFP form on the
desktop.
