Peter,

In fact you were right. The DoDefault() ... NODEFAULT is only necessary when you address the value of a control, which was not the case here.

>>>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?
