>Well, there's been some grumbling (including me at first) about the page refreshing, but maybe in the big picture it's not so bad, since refreshing everything on a form with pageframe (maybe subpageframes) could slow things down unnecessarily. You might want to think about putting the individual page refreshes just in the Activate or Click events for the pages so you don't refresh pages that don't need it...
>I think that Activate is a better place than Click to put a THIS.Refresh.

The one problem with Activate is that if a user tabs through pages, you can get slow jerky tabbing from unnecessary refreshes, I've discovered. Of course if they stop on a page by tabbing, then you need Activate -- it's kind of a Catch 22...But you're right, it took many months but eventually one wise-guy user found that he could tab through pages, then my Click refresh code didn't work, so I moved to Activate...
