OK, I did the "ThisForm.LockScreen = .F." in the page 1 activate, nothing different! I also went and looked at the lockscreen statement I told you I did in the command window. I think it was not reporting the status of the form but the locked status of something else. I removed the "ThisForm.LockScreen = .F." from the page 1 activate and put in an "if" statement, writing a wait window that gave the "ThisForm.LockScreen" status. That wait window always says "false" and the memos are still not displaying the correct values. If I close the form and then reopen it the data displays correctly. Oh did I memtion that I am displaying other fields (text) in the view on page two and those field are display correctly? It's just the memo fields that are not displaying correctly. I also did a suspend the looked at the cursor file, that shows that the same problem, the text fields data are ok, the memo fields data is either blank or not the correct values.

So it looks like lockscreen has no effect unless I'm once again doing something wrong.
