Will this help -

If it was free, you could post the link, and one of us can give it a run

I have learned to not stuff with the Form_Load event.
And I even go further, and I am selective about what code I place in there (Some goes in to Form_Activate, with a wee flag to avoid the code...

What I have done in the past is use a Shape control.
You can play with it's properties, until the border is what you want.
If you have multiple Textboxes you can use a control array of shapes.

Yup the solution given years ago, and forgotten by me, works.
Here is the solution (for future Googlers) -

frmDefaultCancelProps references isButtonTest.isButton - isButtonTest is the library...

Thanks for responding Bonnie.
Still getting same error.

My Googling has come up with another hit, where I asked the same question years ago.
I am (still) old, so had forgotten that.
I am...

The solution here, is not working for me.
I have a form in an existing (large) project. It has the IsButton User Control on the form....

You have not shown us all the code prior to making the call
What may be causing your problem is using declarations similar to this -
Dim strSQL, m_database As String
Instead use -
Dim strSQL as...

I know from past experience that Win 7 can differ (from XP) in the way that apps get/maintain focus.
If the form is meant to be 'active' all the time, perhaps use a timer, and an API call like...

See my post 11 above
It is just the keyboard shortcuts for the menu items -

If my Alt fsrf does not help, I could tell you a story about what happened to me a few years ago.
Have you noticed any other minor irritations with VB6 IDE ?
I cannot recall how many months this...

Have you tried my

to force all errors to be notified ?

Firstly please don't use Data Controls.

Secondly why hide the search form. Unload it instead.
When a form is shown VBModal, and that Form is then Unloaded, control is returned to the original...

I would not be messing around in the Form_Load event.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I do not sprinkle DoEvents everywhere.
But if I see something is 'living in the past', and the controls Refresh command does not help, then it cops a DoEvents.

I have not simulated your example today, and have not been in the IDE for some time.
Notwithstanding that, my recollections may be handy.
In the past, when expected Tooltip info was not appearing,...

I was going to give you a hard time for not upgrading from VB5 to VB6 (as VB6 has better ADO interaction, and a couple of other small but great improvements).
I am glad I didn't, as I would have...

Is it a normal combobox ?
What style is it set to ?
My quick test was style = 0, and I could do this -
Private Sub Form_Click()
Combo1.Text = "Rob"
End Sub
And "Rob" appeared

I haven't studied your code YET, however sometimes a 'focus' problem can be solved by just hiding your app.
EG Your program is running (minimized into Taskbar)
User has 'focus' (it is active) on a...

Could you specify your needs.
Please take the time to do that thoroughly and in detail.
If you tell us 35% of what you need, then it can be a long and confused and tortuous journey before arriving...

I downloaded it to have a wee peek.
You would be better off finding another example, because -

What I believe is desired by the OP is (was ?) A bottommost API = His Form stays beneath all others.

Use a string variable to compose/resolve your query, and then Debug.Print it to see what it looks like.

First question:
I will be sticking with
Text1.Text = ""
I have been rubbing garlic on my neck for decades, and never had a vampire bite.
I have been using "" for decades, and never had a problem....

I have XP Pro SP3
I cannot see WMI in my list of Exceptions ?

What DataMiser said (is 100% of what I nearly said)

Instead of giving us tiny portions of information (and some guessing by us), describe fully what you are doing.
It is the last time I will ask.

Dim sLineOfText As String
Dim sLineOfTextShortened As String
sLineOfText = "1234567890abcdefgh"
sLineOfTextShortened = Mid(sLineOfText, 11)

Knock up a small project, and attach it.
And either here, or in comments in the program state what you want it to do.

Done (with 3 votes ? ?)

But the much bigger abandonment was by MS who purged samples(etc)...

I have not worked with Winsock, so I don't know how the data (strings) look, and what the delimiters will be like.

Elaborate on why you need to check the DB so frequently.
The more detail you provide, the more likely you will receive a quick solution

Not sure if it will still be used. (I will be 121 then, but If I am still alive, it will still be being used.)

Do you know how to attach your project ?
