Nadia,

I tend not to agree with DODEFAULT() in a Refresh() method, as I regard it as troublesome. Users, and even developers, only seldom notice that trouble, but behind the scene certain refreshes are sometimes done more than once and therefore too often. Have you ever noticed that effect?

>>IF ThisForm.CustType.Value='prospect'
>> ThisForm.CustType.Visisvle=.T.
>>Else
>> ThisForm.CustType.Visisvle=.F.
>>ENDIF

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
