I think you lost me. Are you sure that the textbox is in fact on the first page and not on the form itself.

>In the keypress event of a textbox, I'm switching focus to a control on a
different page (i.e., sort of a hotkey kind of thing). In the code, I set the activepage to the new page, then I setfocus on the new control.
>Everything works fine except whatever data is in the old text box gets left on the screen--even if I do a refresh afterwards. For some reason, VFP doesn't know it's there, so it doesn't think it needs to paint that area. If I manually change pages and come back everything looks fine.
>I've even tried setting focus to the current page (so the current control loses focus), then to the new page, but to no avail.

>Any thoughts?
