The user double clicks on My Computer and clicks through to the office document they want and double clicks to open it. The office document opens as expected. The first time they click on the office document (which is the active window), My Computer(which is in the background) pops forward to be the active window. I'm baffled.

I'm baffled, too, because you haven't given us any information to work with. We need to know - OS and version; what version of Office/Word you're running; does this happen with all Office applications or just a specific one; is there anything non-standard about the hardware, esp. peripherals like mouse and keyboard. All these things could have an impact on the problem and solution.

Operating System is Windows NT. Microsoft Office 2000. Happens with all the Microsoft Office applications.

I don't have any other idea!
You have a configurable driver for mouse which allow you to assign other functions than standard on buttons?
