Do you fire your code from the same page? If not, VFP will refresh only the active page. The common solution is to have This.Refresh in all Page.Activate events, or you may call explicitly xtra.xcmbsolicitor.refresh

>Here is the scenario, we have a standard dropdown list, that is basically an override list (it is only actually dropped down, when they wish to override the standard commission solicitor), now based on the following the commissionable solicitor is taken from one of two places, either from the entry persons USERNO, or from the customers default solicitor. Both of these numbers (actually 4 length character fields) are stored in the COMMSOLSVIEW on our SQL server. The orderview view is simply the current order, or where the previous override, or values have been saved. IE: we have a CUSTOMER VIEW, ORDER VIEW, COMMISSIONABLE SOLICITORS (all the solicitors). We need to either pick and place the ONSCREEN (which is bound to orderview.commsol anyways) value to either the CUSTOMER SOLICITOR, or the USERNO, or OVERRIDE with the one from the DROP DOWN LIST.
