I do a Find/Replace and as soon as the replace is complete and I click the Close button on the Find Dialog, the text in the Editbox reverts back to the original text. I can go back into the form and remove the code from the Page Activate event and it works as expected.

Hi Alan,

When I read your problem the first time I had a recollection I had a similar problem before and your second message confirmed it. I think you need to do this.Refresh in your page conditionally in Activate of the page. In other words, you may want to add a flag.

Alternatively you probably can use Click event of the page instead of Activate to refresh controls. The refresh is needed if you may move to another record on the first page - then when you come to the second page you do need a refresh.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
