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.Value
IF ! seek(UPPER(alltrim(this.value)), "Man", "Column1")
   MESSAGEBOX("That part is not on Record")
   seek(UPPER(alltrim(this.value)), "Man", "Column1")
   nodefault
   this.setfocus
ENDIF
THISFORM.Refresh()

HTH

>When the result of the search is true, the form is not refreshing.
