Alex, You are trying to over-complicate it. If you are not using MDI you cannot interact between forms. If form1 calls form2 and you do something on form2 just refresh form1 when you return.
Hence the earlier suggestion.

Karen, You're absolutely right - I don't need the list refreshed until I have returned to Form 1. My idea was to use the button on Form 2 as the refresh "trigger". Is there another way to tell Form 1 that I have closed out Form 2? All I need is for the refresh to run anytime during or after the closing of Form 2. Razzak suggested using MDI forms, but since this is one of the last minor tweaks on what is otherwise a working system for one of my colleagues, I think I'll learn MDI forms on my next project.
