Hi,
I went thru the code in debug mode. I found that my project panel was not loading when it was first called at form load time. I added a call to the end of the LoadProject Routine(Dock()) and it seems to be working just fine now. I even established focus of the name field in the docking Select Case Routine of "pnlProjects", allowing the Name field to have focus when the pnlProjects is docked into view. Thanks for your help ....
