My god this thread's dragging on a bit...

Right.. back to basics...

Your problem is with refreshing the form so...
Have you got a Dodefault() in your refresh method?

You said in your initial thread that you put a command button on the form with a refresh in it
in the same button try putting
Thisform.Lockscreen = .F.
_screen.lockscreen = .F.
Thisform.Refresh()

If none of the above works then empty the refresh method - reset it to default in the properties window and try again.

If the other people on UT are anything like me (which I suspect they are) they hate to see a program which could be better. The gut reaction is to make suggestions to improve it.. maybe forgetting about the initial problem in the process. Just humour us.. say thankyou.. and that you will definatley make the changes.. then we can all go home with a nice warm feeling :)
