VBA Dialog Boxes Losing Focus

[Anonymous]

Hi

I'm having a silly problem with my first VBA code in a LONG time. Whatever dialog box I attempt to open using code, be it a form or an InputBox, I can't enter text. It seems that the box is losing focus immediately. If I hammer on the left mouse key and the keyboard I can sometimes get text to go into the box, but that's obviously not the controlled text I want.

I'm using Vista x64 with two monitors. I've tried moving all the windows to one screen with no difference in effect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im not using Vista, and Im on 32 bit, so I can only offer a perspective, and maybe a couple of questions:

1) Are you having trouble with youir OWN forms?
2) if so, are your forms being loaded "Modally" ? (The "ShowModal" propert of the form)

if so, check to see if your version of acad has the "AcFocus" control avalable. With the "ToolBox" open, right-click on it, select "Additional Controls", and scroll down to see if there is an "AcFocus" control.

There is a known problem in earlier versions that sounds -similar- to what you are describing, and this control is the fix for it. (or, just having your forms "ShowModal" property set to TRUE)
