P.S. - I tried a test without a PageFrame and added ThisForm.Refresh() to the Activate event of the form (with the Editbox on the form) and the same issue occurs. The Find/Replace from the Find Dialog doesn't seem to like a Refresh() of the Editbox control (at least in the Activate of the form). I started with a PageFrame because all of the forms having the problem were all using PageFrames. However, it looks like in my base form test with just an Editbox, the Refresh() in the Form.Activate will do it as well. Just some additional info.

>This.Refresh()

>I then run the form with the PageFrame added (keep in mind, all of these controls are base VFP controls) and then click within the Editbox, type some text and then click Ctrl-F, the Find dialog is displayed. 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.

>Anyway, the Refresh method of the Page seems to be the culprit. I went back to some other forms where I was having the same problem and removed the This.Refresh from the Activate event of the Page and now all the Editboxes retain the Replaced value from the Find Dialog.

>>Hi Alan,

>>I just created a simple test form and it seems to work fine. The editbox is bound to the memo field and the table is in a database. I did a simple tableupdate to save the record. No issues.

>>>Hello all,
>>>
>>>I am having an issue with using the Find Dialog from an Editbox. Once the Find Dialog is displayed and I Find text in the Editbox, I click the Replace button to replace the contents. Once the Replace has succeeded, I close the Find Dialog and the text has reverted back to the original value.
>>>
>>>Here is something interesting, I tried this with a base VFP Editbox class on a form. If I set the ControlSource property with the memo field, then the above problem occurs. However, if I remove the ControlSource property value, it works.
>>>
>>>Is this a known issue in VFP9, SP2 or am I missing something. How can I save the Find/Replace results once I close the Find Dialog? This is the first time I've worked with the Find (Ctrl-F) feature so I'm not sure if this has always been an issue or not. I was hoping someone with VFP9, SP2 could confirm this behavior for me. An Editbox with and without a ControlSource, with it appears the replace text is not saved and without it is saved.

>>>Thanks so much for any help you can provide.
