The 'Find' and 'Find again' selection will not close the search form,it remain active. If any record that match the search criteria is found, I want to be displayed (the search form is small and positioned at top) as in Find dialog within a browse window.

>>I want make a quick search utility form, called from other forms, by clicking on toolbar button or pressing Ctrl+F. It is a very simple modal form, it has only a textbox and two butons, 'Find' and 'Find again'. What I want (and I don't know how) is to refresh the grid on the calling form (if form is in "list view" mode) to show the new record if search was successful (the record mark on the left) in a similar way as the Find dialog in a Browse window. I have the calling form reference passed as parameter to search form and stored to a property, but the command :
>>

>>thisform.oCallingFormRef.Refresh
>>

>>
>>doesn't work, just a "scroll" effect, the record mark isn't displayed.
>>Any ideas?
>>
>>Thanks in advance.
