>Yes, that makes sense. Thanks for the insight. I have been periodically frustrated by selecting a page and finding its data did not keep up with the current record. Solved this by putting this.refresh in the activate event of the page but this still occassionally leaves problems. I suppose I could cause the pageframe's refresh to loop through the pages and refresh each when the pageframe is refreshed thereby keeping everything current but with a performance penalty. My guess is there's a reason why this isn't the default behaviour so I haven't done it.
The reason is ... the performance penalty. The idea is that the content of those other pages is irrelevant when not displayed.
Manipulating the refresh is indeed best managed using activate events. So one needs not only thorough understanding of the Refresh system, but also of the Activate Events. A bad implementation can imply that at times a control is - to one's surprise - not refreshed or is refreshed many times where one time is enough.
Years ago I wrote the article 'Activating the Refresh', but it is in Dutch:
