Default Modeless form keeps taking 'focus'

Cool!

| Maybe you can cheat just a little.
|
| I put this under the userform:
|
| Option Explicit
| Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
| Application.OnTime Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1), "SelectACell"
| End Sub
|
| And this in a general module:
| Option Explicit
| Sub testme()
| UserForm1.Show False
| End Sub
| Sub SelectACell()
| AppActivate Application.Caption
| End Sub
|
| It seemed to work ok in my simple testing.
