I have a problem that is driving me crazy.  I hope someone has either seen this before or can point out what I am not understanding.



I have a MDIFRAME, named MB_MAIN.  In this MDIFRAME I open MDIchildren and I have buttons on my MDIFRAME that send events to the MDIchildren.  I have a SAVE_BTN on MB_MAIN that sends a WRITE event to the MDIchild (let's say my child window is called MB_CHILD).  During the promoted write event, I do the following:



CK=GET_PROPERTY('MB_MAIN','FOCUS')



The CK variable is filled with 'MB_CHILD.AGE', which is the control that has focus on MB_CHILD.  I would expect the CK variable to get set to 'MB_MAIN.SAVE_BTN', since I click on this button to initiate the whole process.



The funny thing is, if I step through it in the debugger, the variables get set as I would expect them to, but if I run through the program without debugs I get the above mentioned results.



Any ideas?



Thanks in advance,



Matt
