FORM6i : Multi-form problem

Would be great if anyone could help me with this:
Say I have two forms A and B, A has a repeating timer
which, when fires, will GO_FORM to B and B's WHEN-WINDOW-
ACTIVATED should fire and do stuff. Problem is if
the focus is already on form B at the beginning,
form A's timer expires but form B's WHEN-WINDOW-
ACTIVATED trigger doesn't fire as it IS already the
active window of the two at the time of the timer
expiration. So the stuff in B's WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED
won't execute when I want it to.

Any workaround? I need a solution to this urgently.
Thanks big time in advance!!

It is an interesting question. Maybe the solution is putting code from When-Window-Activated trigger to the When-New-Form-Instance ?
