ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "openfile", String.Format("window.open('/Reports/September Sowing Report Area-1/September Sowing Report Area-1 {0}.ods');", DD4.SelectedValue), True)

Answer 1

Try setting the focus back to the main window after opening the other one in the JavaScript code.

For example:

 window.open( .... ); self.focus();

Also, you might be able to use the blur method:

var newWindow = window.open( ... );
newWindow.blur();

Let me know if this works for you. Behavior might depend a bit on the browser...
