>>>What is the best way to make sure all the pages of a pageframe are always showing current data? It seems like the refresh of the non top pages must be called explicitly to keep them current. Otherwise, if the page is showing data from a child table, it may not be the correct record until it is refreshed. I have tried various ways to deal with this including this.refresh in the activate event but I can't settle on the best method.

If you have a navigation toolbar and the user can click a next or previous button, refreshing each page can slow the operation. Generally, I prefer to refresh the page when the user clicks on it. I also have one app where a form contains a web browser control. Refreshing that can be time consuming and may require user intervention (it may need to query the user about what data to display), so a refresh on that page is definitely not desired until the user clicks on it.
