That's correct! What you need to know is that a Form cannot receive or lose Focus if it has one or more Controls that can receive Focus!
Seems odd, I know, but it is what it is! For this kind of thing you need to use the Form_Activate()/Form_Deactivate() events.
Because you cannot return Focus to a Form that is invisible, I agree with Dave about using the Minimze/Maximise commands for this.

The problem with making anything foolproof...is that fools are so darn ingenious!
