philp Posted December 7, 2008 CID Share Posted December 7, 2008 At work I use 3 different catalogs to look up parts and an ADP program for billing and ordering so I have at least 4 programs open all day and it's not uncommon to have as many as 9 at any given time. The problem comes when I am using a catalog and then go back to ADP by clicking on it in the taskbar. Sometimes I can start typing but usually I have to click on the page first otherwise the keystrokes do not appear. If I have copied info from one page I can restore another from the taskbar and right click/paste and the info appears. But then I have to click on the page to enter a quantity. If I use the cumbersome Alt + Tab option to get back to ADP, it's not an issue. ADP is a web-based program, if that matters. It is also a Unix system but I don't think that has anything to do with it. Is there anything that can be done so I don't have to click on the page before I can use it?

mudmanc4 Posted December 8, 2008 CID Share Posted December 8, 2008 Thats a tough one for me, thank jobs for expose' . Only thing I can say is two monitors, makes it simple. I had the same issue with a client, I set up a separate monitor, and p-dow ! done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philp Posted December 8, 2008 Author CID Share Posted December 8, 2008 Unfortunately that's not an option due to limited space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
