Diana You seem to be asking the same question over and over in different words and not giving a feel for what part of the thread you're working with. Please always quote relevant parts of the message you're answering, so we know WHAT you're answering. This question makes no sense to me - out of context - and there have been so many messages for the thread that I have no idea what the actual context is. Have you yet identified where the cursor is going, or what the circumstances are under which it goes? Change of focus, per se, is not a problem, and there is no "cure". If there is something that is stealing the focus without a good reason, then that needs to be eliminated. It is not common for the focus to be stolen without an obvious cause. You need to identify what caused it to go. Many times this comes down to incorrect keystrokes on the keyboard or inadvertent actions with a trackpad or pointing stick.
