I did not think it would.

I was trying to change the color of certain text fields and some command buttons based on the data in a DBF record. The form has many of the fields of the DBF and as they change values, I was going to change colors.

Normally the user hits a command button, goes out to another form and does things. When they come back to this form I was going to reset all of the colors based on their actions.

So I used memvars for the fields and do a scatter memvar whenever the form is refreshed.

It is NOT working. Even when I scatter memvar on the form load, the various boxes and buttons can not see the memvars when they do an INIT.

I put a wait window in the various steps so I know that the scatter memvars does happen first, but the various boxes and command after that can not see the memvars.



>Question: do the form load event run on a thisform.refresh????

No, why would it?
