Agnes,

Sorry for the gibberish. No it doesn't appear to have any effect all.

Let me try to try and make it clearer, I have a pageframe with 14 pages.

The problem happens if I jump to page2 at anytime first (on the parent form), then launch a child form. When I close the child form, you can see that the screen area with controls where page2 was refreshes and clears ok, the rest doesn't.

There is nothing special about page2 so this might be misleading.

I tried 'manually' running code:

ThisForm.LockScreen = .F.
ThisForm.Cls()
ThisForm.Refresh()

in the dblclick event of the form. It has not visual effect, the forms stays muggy.

Regards





>>Setting and resetting LockScreen and calling ThisForm.Cls() isn't playing ball guys. It is annoying but any more insight will be much appreaciated. Thanks

Opens a child form but after closing the child form, the child form's buttons and grid lines are sort of 'left behind' in that you can still see them there messing up the parent form. I have tried ThisForm.Refresh() and doesn't help. What should I look for? There is a aspecific sequence of events I have to follow in order to re-create it but it is re-creatable nevertheless.
