Form top bar lock up

I'm programming an application using VS C++.NET 2005 Express in clr/pure
syntax. It is a Console application (which might be important here).

Everything works. I have buttons I can press and do their assigned function
and a TreeView I can navigate. I can minimize th form, bring the console to
the front, click on any part of the form body, and exit using the top right
'X'.

BUT, if I click on the form top bar, the form locks up, giving complete
control to the Console! I can now move the Console around as before, but the
form buttons and treeview don't react (or at least the form isn't painting
to show it). If I close the Console it closes the application. If I minimize
the Console I can't maximize it again via the tray version of the
application.

I've tried both form.ShowDialog () and Show(%form) methods of launching form.
Same thing happens. Not sure how long this has been going on, haven't really
tried to move the form till now! There may be some 'can't move the form'
flag I'm not aware of, but even if so, such a flag shouldn't cause the form
to lock up if its tried. This happen both in the IDE and as stand-alone
executions, and both debug and release.

Thanks in advance for responses!

For reasons unknown, the problem seems to have corrected itself. I can now
move the form around no problem. Wish I knew why it was doing what it did
when it wouldn't allow this...

Before I started to create table, etc to track unique form field record number assigments I thought I'd check to see if there is now a better way to do this in .NET. I have a parent form (table) and children form (table). Relationship equals one to many. I'd like to auto number the fields accordingly and traditionaly I assign a unique number based on a table value that I retrieve + 1. i.e. Parent record field value = 1 Children record...

Hello, I've got a text field in an access form (Microsoft Access 2002, SP3), that the user has to fill out. Now I don't want the user to leave this field (and this record) until he has filled out the field (which is stored in a table) correctly. What's the best way to achieve this? thanks,

Since upgrading one of my clients from A97/W2000 to A2003/XP they have suffered no end of data corruption problems, mainly involving one of the main tables. The corruption can result in one record's fields turning into chinese characters. On running the compact/repair I can see that the corruption may be deeper than I expected because sometimes indexes are missing and need to be replaced. I used to think that overuse of 'ctrl-alt-delete'...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
