>On each Page I have some spinner controls. When they exceed a certain value I switch back and fore colors to indicate to the user that a threshold has been reached. I have a grid on page 2. If I am on page 1 and navigate up and down with navigation buttons the record pointer moves, but the spinners do not stay refreshed in a manner that reflects there current value > 5 turn red; < 5 stay blue. ONLY when I activate a different tab and come back to page 1 do the controls refresh. This seems like a elementary problem, but I can't seem to make it work reliably.

Couldn't you refresh only the spinner(s) from navigation buttons? Go in button's Click method and rightclick in the code window, then choose "Object List". There you'll find your spinner and by choosing it you'll get the correct reference to it. Then just add ".Refresh" to the reference and it should do it.
