I noticed, but in this particular case I suggest to put dodefault() in control's Refresh, not the form refresh. One control should not be a big problem. Without dodefault() field's value has not became text box value yet.

Of course, if you know for sure, that your controls don't have anything coded in Refresh method (or any another event), it's better not to use dodefault()

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
