Alex,
I think your missing the overall message....
How are you opening Form 2? Since you say you're not using MDI forms, then the assumption is that Form 2 is being opened from Form 1 - what object on Form 1 is opening Form 2? For example, if you have a button on Form 1 that opens Form 2, it probably has an eep that looks something like this:
SET VAR varname
EDIT USING form2name
RETURN
You just need to modify that eep to be like this:
SET VAR varname
EDIT USING form2name
PROPERTY <componentid> REFRESHLIST 'TRUE'
RETURN
Whatever eep contains the EDIT USING form2name needs to have the PROPERTY command after it.
