Hi Joel,

Nick pointed out how to get rid of the commands results display on your form. However, if it's something you actually want, the way to clear the form is the Cls() Method like this :

<

>CLEAR
DIR
WAIT WINDOW "Press any key to clear results"
ThisForm.Cls()
<

>WAIT wind
>Form.refresh()

>The form does NOT refresh after I hit a key from the wait wind
