Hi,

[Quoted] Don't know if it could be done, but I would try the following: 1) Create a package in your form containing a package variable (or use a :global).
2) Set the variable to something like 'DEACT' by the when-window- deactivated trigger.
3) In the when-window-activated trigger evaluate the variable. If it's 'DEACT', send the user to the 'front door'.

If you use a pll package for the variable, and attach the pll to all the forms of your application, you can avoid the roundtrip to the front door if necessary (if the user goes forward/backward between the scrrens of your application).

Hope this can be an idea.
