Phil,
Thanks for the info. Usually the draw() method will clear all kinds of muck off a form. Remember, Draw() repaints the form, refresh() updates the data. Glad to hear you got it fixed. Sounds like an ingenious fix. I like it.

>I put THISFORM.DRAW() into the right-click of the form and after the ghosting appeared I did a right-click. It didn't refresh the form and remove the ghosting.

>>The .Draw() normally fixes these things because it repaints the screen as opposed to Thisform.Referesh() which only refreshes data. Try placing Thisform.Draw() in the rightclick event of the form the ghost image appears in then right click after it appears. If that fixes it let me know and I'll detail the next step.

>>>The ghosting happens as soon as I click the Save button in a toolbar. The button calls a save method of the form. If I stop execution at the beginning of the save method the ghosting is already there. I tried doing a THISFORM.DRAW() in the save method and it had no effect.

>>>This ghosting only happens if the page with the listbox control is active when the save button is clicked. I've tried changing the activepage to another page at the beginning of the save but the ghosting has already occurred.
