>>Get this error when the project is run for the first time. I 'Suspend' it to find it's on the line that reads "Thisform.Refresh()" which is in the gotfocus for the main screen. I have this there because a few screens into it, the user can add to the opening screen's pick lists. (I want the pick lists updated when the user gets back to the main screen). What is the better way to do this?
