>Whenever a container has code in it's REFRESH(), all the controls in it get REFRESH()ed twice. Once during the DODEFAULT() in the Container.REFRESH() code and again when the Container.REFRESH() ends. Which means that a textbox in a container in a container in a form gets REFRESH()ed 8 times if the Form.REFRESH() has code and each of the containers have code.

Bill,
All built_in events do their default implicitly at the end of the code unless no nodefault. IOW the last line of code for them is an implicit dodefault(). Simply remove your dodefault(). Or if you really need it than include a nodefault to prevent the implicit.
When I code I almost never code anything in refresh event.
