>I am basically a FPD guy so I have reserves using thisform.refresh(). Is it as bad as the SHOW clause we use to have the whole form refreshing and slowing down? Please let me know and thanks for your response.

Bhavbhuti,

The form refresh can be a performance dog depending on what code is in it and each control's refresh. In my reply to you I suggested that the refresh was a candidate, so is creating a custom method of the form specfically for this purpose.

IMHO, calling a form's refresh should only be done when you want to refresh most or all of the controls in the form. If you want to only refesh the controls on a page of a pageframe then call the page's refresh.
