If I focus one of the Xpager desktop other than the first one and then switch to FS Dos if I pick desktop and switch back I end up on the same desktop I started from. This is using the Taskbar. If I pick an app it take me to the app on whichever desktop it happens to be on even if that isn't where I switched to DOS from. > LOL... Okay, I stand corrected. Somewhere along the line, I must have toggled that setting to follow the active window. Now it works as I recall. > What are your XPager settings? I have Desktop follows active window check on mine.

It's blindingly fast for a lot of stuff, and if all one needs is an electronic check register, it works just fine. I wish more clients would use it. I could write a book about the terribly broken QuickBooks files I get to see (honestly, people have no idea what balance sheets are, the difference between cash and accrual methods of accounting, inventory...QuickBooks just complicates matters for so many people who just need to make deposits, write checks, and track credit card purchases). ;-) -- Lewis
