When "In Top Level Form" closes, leaves blank box

[dbMark]

I have a form that opens as an "In Top Level Form" on a blank area of the Top Level Form. It only holds a grid for a table display/edit. When I hide the grid and close its form, it leave a white box behind. Thisform.refresh does not reset that area back to the background color. Is there a way to do this?

Why I used the above approach... Originally the grid was was on the top level form but I kept getting an error when changing another table. Now that I look back, probably all I had to do was clear the recordsource then reset the recordsourse to the new table? I think I was trying to close the entire grid and redefine the entire grid and it wouldn't let me redefine the columns.

dbMark,

Try calling the form's Draw method. That ought to do what you want -- although I've no idea why it's not doing that automatically.

dbMark,

Did you ever solve this problem?

I've heard of another developer who had a similar problem, and I'm looking for a solution to it.

I've found that the CLS method will clear up blank areas of a form.


Hope that helps,
