The form is a one-to-many order entry screen, with order lines in a grid. A column in the grid has for its controlsource, "thisform.ordstat()". When the logic in ordstat() is something simple like "return orditem.ord_line_no", everything works as expected: the column displays the order line numbers correctly. When I change the logic to something more coplex involving an sql select to derive the status of each line, the values displayed in the grid appear as expected; however, other portions of the screen appear scrambled, and text from a screen beneath the orders screen actually shows through, making a mess. However, the command buttons on the order screen behave as normal even though they're hidden or scrambled. I.e., if you put the cursor over the point where the button should appear and click, the correct behavior results. I tried putting thisform.refresh into ordstat() and in form.init, to no avail.

Please help.

Thanks,
