>I'm using the MS Rich Text control and in certain situations, I have to call the form that it's on with a NOREAD statement so that the form doesn't receive focus. The weird thing is, when I do this, the control displays nothing. If I issue an explicit SETFOCUS() to the control, it refreshes fine and displays the contents. The problem is issuing the SetFocus() causes the form to get focus, which I don't want.

There are often problems with RTF control because it has its own window.
Try

ThisForm.oleRTF.object.Refresh()

Good Luck
