>>>>>Here's a weird one. I have several edit boxes where this happens. I click in the box, press Ctrl-V to paste some text. The text appears in the box just fine. Then I leave the Edit box with the tab key or the mouse and the pasted text disappears. It doesn't happen when I enter the text with the keyboard or if there's already text in the field.

As far as I remember it did not in similar situations for other controls (I have not tried for editbox at all). I guess that Refresh takes Controlsource and push it to Value, and This.Value=This.Value makes opposite.
