    <p>I know this isn't strictly a programming question but y'all must have experienced this. </p> <p>So...you have four or five RDP sessions open over the corp VPN, you're bashing away inside your favourite IDE, your VPN to the data centre bounces briefly then recovers, all your RDP sessions start re-establishing their connections and whilst doing so sequentially keep grabbing focus, one after the other. Pretty bloody annoying and downright rude.</p> <p>Any idea how to prevent this behaviour and just make the RDP client flash it's taskbar button instead of totally grabbing focus away from whatever you were doing?</p> <p>@<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22903/how-do-i-stop-the-windows-rdp-client-grabbing-focus-after-a-reconnect#22911">Jason</a> - thanks for the reply, I'm running 64 bit Vista and 64 Bit Windows 2008. Any ideas how well it plays?</p> <p>@<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22903/how-do-i-stop-the-windows-rdp-client-grabbing-focus-after-a-reconnect#23049">Jason</a> - good idea. Done.</p> <p>@<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22903/how-do-i-stop-the-windows-rdp-client-grabbing-focus-after-a-reconnect#23139">Ryan</a> - thanks also for the answer. I tried <a href="http://www.codeplex.com/Terminals" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Terminals</a> a few times before, but quite often I need to see two or three sessions side by side which the tabbing doesn't really facilitate too well, would've been nice to have a 'pop out in own window' button. I did once grab the source code to fix stuff like that, but never got the time. I also found it behaved oddly whenever there was a brief network disconnect (e.g. xDSL flapping) and it would reconnect to the wrong session (usually a new one) and leave the session I had opened in a disconnected state on the server. Otherwise Terminals would've been really cool, we have 200+ windows servers, and organising all those .rdp files can be a pain.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
