thanks for the feedback! sorry for delay in response... SOS suggested: "hide the other form when the dialog is opened via code and then set the form visible again when the dialog is closed" Yep, this would prevent the rogue click for doing anything. but there are reasons why this is not...

Nope. Not the Application.Echo statements. will try to duplicate on another computer...

Here's a scrubbed version. What you don't see are some Application.Echo statements surrounding this code... I have a hunch that is the culprit, but have not tested yet. DoEvents didn't help. Set dlg = Nothing Set fso = New Scripting.FileSystemObject Set db = CurrentDb Set qdfs...

No, it's not my windows settings. I pretty sure it's the dialog closing too soon, before the OS has processed the double click. hmmm... I'll try a couple of DoEvents statements Another possible work around might be to get the mouse x/y coordinates on mouse down and ignore clicks in that area...

It would be interesting to see if anyone else can duplicate this. I have Kingston Expert Mouse using Vista drivers on Win7 that could be the problem. I will test with another mouse...

I have subform datasheet that opens the Office File Picker Dialog when an empty field is clicked (user picks file, filename inserted into datasheet). The problem is once the dialog is opened, it is positioned directly over several controls on the Parent form that have OnClick events. When the...
