field loses focus after switching applications

[Flip Kalee]

Hi group,
We have been using several templates with userforms for some time. To fill
in the fields the users need to look up information from another
application. So they switch (alt+tab) between the two.
We upgraded from Office 97 to 2000 on W98.
Now if I switch back to Word (the userform is open) from some other app. the
field that was active is not active anymore. With Word97 the field stayed
active. So now I must click the field or pres Tab, Shift+tab before I can
enter the data.

Can this be solved in Word 2000?

G'day "Flip Kalee" <flip@@konitech..nl>,

don't think so bro. You could make it so that clicking the form or the
activate event or some other event off the main form might recognize
your gentle presence...
