Alex: Jan's suggestion is in the Form 1 button code that calls Form 2. You notice that it calls Form 2, and after you exit Form 2 and return back to the button code it will do the property refreshlist. At that point you are back in Form 1. I'm not sure why you would need to refresh the list in Form 1 while you are sitting in Form 2. You wouldn't be able to see or do anything with it. So bring up your form 2. You exit form 2, and then do the refreshlist.
