Hi all,

I've searched far and wide for this for the past 2 months (off and on) and
have yet to find a logical answer/solution.

The problem, as far as I can tell, arises from having a lot of data being
refreshed at a fairly high rate (real time stock data, etc). I have Excel
with automatic calculation, and I have set up TweakUI properly to disallow
the stealing of focus.

Here are some odds and ends to this problem. Excel will only steal focus
from another Office application if and only if you click on the office
application while Excel is in focus. This means that if Excel is in focus,
then you click on a Non-Office app, then click on Outlook, Excel will not
steal focus. It is very peculiar and very repeatable at all the computers
here, and it is quite annoying because Excel will steal focus from another
Excel or Outlook every 1/2 second to 1 second and makes switching between
applications a real nuisance.

I will give more details as I find them.

Has anyone seen this before? Or have any idea how to work around it?

Thanks,
Akshay
