>>>No luck. I tried adding the form refresh line and substituting my code with your WITH..ENDWITH code (neat tip, thanks!) and my lists are still not refreshing until I close/open the form. Ugh!

>>Esteban's correct, Mandy -- the WITH...ENDWITH code needs to be located in the Activate of the first form. You *might* even try putting it into the Activate of the *page itself* -- but I'd try the form's Activate *first* (g).

After you add your new contact on form2, try to refresh no only the controls on your form but the form itself...
