Dear Bonnie,

Thanks for caring.

Basically I think my problem is solved when I kind of "activate the pages" in the build event of the form. I haven't checked it yet, but I suspect that the pages "as components" may not be built until
they are activated (read shown, or selected).

Might also be a form generator issue.

It may also be the fact that I added the tabcontrol late in the coding of the the form and moved bound controls to other pages. It's possible that in this way I somehow confused the form generator.

I think that checking the code generated by the form generator might disclose what exactly is going on, but that takes time and courage :).

I do .EndEdit().

The "problem" was that to my surprise, in "update" mode, i.e. the mode whereby the system fetches the record(s) and presents them to the user via the bound controls, those controls that are on pages that are never activated (shown really), are not refreshed.

As I said, thanks for caring and kind regards,

Marc



>Sorry for not replying sooner, Marc. I've been away from the UT for a couple of days.What exactly is not working? You haven't really said ... you've simply said that you needed to refresh the Tab pages, but not *why* you needed to. I assumed it was because the data that got changed on the various Tab pages wasn't being "noticed" at Save time and that's why I mentioned the binding. I also should have mentioned that perhaps you need to include an .EndEdit(). But, I still do not have a clear idea of what exactly your problem is ...
