Don't be sorry, it's a good assumption. I made sure that it was not my condition by inserting a MESSAGEBOX in the Refresh method, but it didn't display.

Maybe I should point out that the container is defined as a class and that it is included inside a pageframe.

I bypassed the problem by setting the Visible property of the controls to .F. in the property sheet, but I still wonder why the Refresh method won't fire when the page is activated.

BTW, I explicitely called the container's Refresh method from the Activate event of the page, but again without succes.

Thanks for your help

>Sorry to ask this but are you sure that the condition evaluate as you expect ? I tried your code with a simple form and it seems to work.
