Using Terminal Services Client Version 5.0 (Build 2195).

IE6SP1, Outlook Express 6, Outlook 2000 SP1, WinWord 2000 SP1 are installed on the server for the user.

User login to the system and start up an Internet Explorer session, connect to a website that use Word Automation to generate a word document, bring up a Print dialog in IE and return focus to IE. This Internet application normally works as expected when connecting directly to the website without using Terminal server.

But what happens if connected using IE6 SP1 withtin a terminal services client session is that after the print dialog goes away, the focus is returned to the application which Last has the focus before Internet Explorer- this could be Outlook, Excel, Command Prompt, Outlook Express, etc.

How could I resolve this problem?? If it helps, the JavaScript code that returns focus to IE is
Code:
window.focus();
 
Couldn't you use the tweakui and select the check box 'prohibit applications from stealing focus' ?
