In addition to what has been suggested, sometimes, for example, when you have 2 related forms it is a good option for each form to have a property with treference to the other form so you have something like this.oOtherForm.refresh() from any of the forms again, I don't exactly what you are doing, so this may not be an appropriate solution Arnon > >I have a form which call another search form. > >The second form is a search form.
