A VFP idiom: When you refresh a Form with a Page Frame on it, only the .ActivePage gets refreshed. This is by design and is desireable for video performance reasons. Thus, whenever the Page.Activate() method fires, you should do a This.Refresh().
>It's really a PITA to remember to put a This.Refresh into the Activate method of each page. See Auto Page Refresher for a suggestion on how to implement this behavior in your base page frame class."

The problem is, precisely, that a ThisForm.Refresh() will NOT refresh all pages - only the currently selected page. So yes, you have to refresh each page when it is activated.
