[AccessD] Saved Form will not release focus

It isn't a WinXP issue exactly.  At least I've never seen anything like
that on any of the XP machines I've used, and I run 3 or more versions
of Access on them.  However, WinXP does have some pesky "sticky"
settings that can present bizarre behavior.  Open up the Accessibility
Options in the Control Panel, go through all the tabs, and turn off all
the "sticky" settings and see if that makes a difference.

Subject: [AccessD] Saved Form will not release focus

Hey All
This first occurred when I was updating an Access97 (mdb) application to
Access2000 on my WINXP machine, but is now occurring in a different
Access97 (mdb) application that I am updating in Access97 and which I
copied from my old Windows 98 machine onto another (different) WINXP
machine. 
If I go into design mode and edit a form and then save it, when I come
back to the main database form I cannot use the scroll bar or select
another form to edit/work on. If I click on either it opens the previous
form I just saved. I have to basically select the query or report tab
and then the form tab to be able to scroll or select another form. I can
open forms in the design mode and simply close them and I am fine, no
sticking. I thought it was just something flaky with Access2000, but it
seems to have occurred on the Access97 (XP) application after I
decompiled it.
The old version does not have this problem.  I have followed all the
rules of decompling, creating a new MDB and coping over all components
and checking for viruses. The weird thing is if I copy the problem
Acess97 MDB to my WindowsNT machine it works fine no sticking.  Also all
my progress bars freeze after displaying 15 to 20 % of the total
progress, I now have to use DoEvents to enable them to display the
ongoing progress.

Is there something specific that I need to be aware of when working in
the WinXP environment??? 
Is there something I have unwittingly done or twittingly done, this has
got me baffled.
I also tried creating a new MDB and just copying only some of the forms
over to it, sticking still occurs.
