Start condition: you have a button on a Form, or any control that will accept a click event, set to open a new form.

If the button is located in the same place on the screen as a continuous subform the mouse will be hovering over the subform when the new form opens. This can cause jittering loop effect that will persist until the user moves their mouse.

it's not feasible to move this subform it takes up the entire screen.
It's not feasible to move the button on the previous screen because it's a Switch Board and the opening subform takes up the most of the screen.

Any ideas?

I've tried forcing the subform to delay loading until after I setfocus on something else. No joy.

Disable the button on the previous form after it is clicked

If that's the case, why would you get the jittering loop effect you described?

That's a good question.

It turns out I had a development form open behind the Switch Board (Dialog)
And that causing the problem.

Sorry to waste your time. Thanks for helping.
