So far when I have experienced this type of problem it has been due to a problem with the control source of the object. Is there any difference between how objects are populated with data between those that properly instantiate and those that do not ? In other words are control sources of an object different for those that work and those that do not?

Different control sources could be a view, SQL Statement, Table, passing a variable or whatever.

>I have some forms with grid, combo and many textboxes. Many a times when the form is displayed, some controls, generally the textboxes and comboboxes dont get displayed. Minimise and maximise the application or ALT-TAB to any other open application and come back and all the controls are now displayed.
