Hi Terry,

thanks for taking a look!
I had no luck with handing the focus to another control here on Win XP.
Didn't cured the problem here.


But i have done some more tests:

(revBrowser alread open in a substack)

- revBrowserSet sBrowserId, "selected", "Mike"
  works

- revBrowserSet sBrowserId, "selected", "John"
  works too :-)

- focus on main stack

- focus back on substack with revBrowser

- revBrowserSet sBrowserId, "selected", "Mike"
  doesn't work anymore  :-/

- revBrowserSet sBrowserId, "selected", "John"
  doesn't work anymore  :-(


So it looks like (at least here on Win XP), *loosing* the focus is
somewhat related to the problem.

Can anyone shine a light on his?

Regards,	
	Claus.
