Todd,

Make sure you are restricting your use of thisform.Refresh(), also make sure your pageframe class is not refreshing non-visible pages. There is a PageRefresher class on my website that might be of interest. Use the WITH/ENDWITH if you are setting multiple properties or calling methods of an object.

>My custom textbox is kinda cool. It does two things, one is it reads a speerate table for a validation rule, and the other thing is that it generates a second textbox that is used for validation purposes (the data entry person sets it to S if the data is suspect, then a manager reviews the suspect fields.)
