>thank you, that is the thing, The harris pbx spills information an it places them correctly into my database of call or call log. i created a view for the customer and every minute or so calls come into the database, to its neds to refresh very often i would say every minute

But, do you need to update all the pages everytime your underlying data changes? The this.refresh() in the activate is your best option.
And it really should not be that slow - how many controls are on your frames?
