Cycle with the tab button?
Alt-Esc?

Certainly worth trying as a workaround, but obviously not a 'solution' as such since it requires operator action that should not be needed.
Some more things for Bob to try, as much as a diagnostic aid than a workaround (clearly they should not be necessary):
1. Code: SYS "SetForegroundWindow", @hwnd%
2. Code: SYS "BringWindowToTop", @hwnd%
If neither of those work try these more complicated variants:
3. Code: SYS "GetWindowThreadProcessId", @hwnd%, 0 TO W%
SYS "GetCurrentThreadId" TO O%
SYS "AttachThreadInput", O%, W%, TRUE
SYS "SetForegroundWindow", @hwnd%
SYS "AttachThreadInput", O%, W%, FALSE
4. Code: SYS "GetWindowThreadProcessId", @hwnd%, 0 TO W%
SYS "GetCurrentThreadId" TO O%
SYS "AttachThreadInput", O%, W%, TRUE
SYS "BringWindowToTop", @hwnd%
SYS "AttachThreadInput", O%, W%, FALSE

Many thanks for the responses.
I will try implementing the suggestions.
The program is used from 7.45am to 2.30am seven days a week and it is difficult to gain access for experiments when the owner is more than happy as it stands and reluctant to permit interruption.
I will advise of progress.
Thanks,
Bob.

If it's as hot there as it is here (26.2 C at the moment and rising) you might appreciate some night shifts....

Richard, since my days of running casino when I retired in 1981, I always go to bed around 5 or 6 am. . . No problem for me.
I program using your fantastic BB4W from midnight each night.
I never get bored experimenting. Done it for years since I used to program BBC Master Series.
Regards,
Bob.
