Jay,

If you want textbox with binding to any source, you must
1) call his method SetFocus() - then VFP write value to (ControlSource)
2) set value to (ControlSource) and call method Refresh()

Your original technique is for nonbinding objects.

>>>Very simple form that has a grid of a local table. As I move through the grid, the AfterRowColChange has this:
>>>
>>>

>>>ThisForm.txtName.Value = MyTable.Name
>>>ThisForm.txtName.Refresh
>>>ThisForm.Refresh (just for the hell-of-it)
>>>

>>>But the value does not change. I'm sure it's simple. Too little sleep, not enough coffee I guess.
