OK, now I thing what you are trying to acheive. This control is there to let the user select a record to display, right? In that case, here is the code you need:
lcOriginalValue = THIS.ValueIF ! seek(UPPER(alltrim(this.value)), "Man", "Column1")
MESSAGEBOX("That part is not on Record")
seek(UPPER(alltrim(this.value)), "Man", "Column1")
nodefaultthis.setfocusENDIFTHISFORM.Refresh()
HTH
>When the result of the search is true, the form is not refreshing.
