Cannot use some keys when open external programs ...

   I got a problem with Visual Studio 2005 - VB Express Beta 2, when I open my VB project, then I open an external program (like wordpad), when I come back to the project those keys does'nt seems to respond : "space", "Delete", "Enter", "Tab" and "Backspace".

   If I Close the project and start it back afterward, it work well again ... until I open up another external program.

   Tanks  for your feedback, J-F

    I finnaly found out how to fix the problem.

    To fix this problem you must "Activate" one of your windows in the menu "Windows" click on "Windows ..." and in this screen, select one form that cause the problem and click "activate" There should be no more problem.
