>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.

This may sound crazy, but bear with me... Try adding THIS.VALUE=THIS.VALUE at the top of the method which changes colors; I had similar problems with spinners and this solved them.
