>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>I have a textbox "bound" to a cursor/view. I put bound in quotation marks because I don't want to use the ControlSource of the text box. Instead the "binding" has to be done in code. So that every time the record pointer moves, a new value appears in the text box. Natural thing would be to put this code in the Refresh method of the text box. But I think that Refresh would fire too often; even when the record pointer has not moved. What other method would you recommend to use for this purpose? TIA.

It fires when you leave a textbox.
