No, there is no ControlSource fot this textbox. It's used for system messages. I've just demonstrated these two mentioned display problems to our Network Admin. He suggested the usual: "Try to re-boot the machine and see, what happens" Well, I'm going to try it, though I don't expect it to help.

See ya in a couple of minutes... :)

Update
Well, re-booting didn't resolve my GroupWise problem (BTW, the same e-mail message is shown fine on my manager's machine), but it did resolve the txtMsg problem and it is showed fine now...

Go figure :)

Update #2
I re-ran this form again and the message disappeared again!!!!!!!!!!
