Repainting a Form

I have a form which calls up a second form for purposes of data entry.
When closing the data entry form and returning to the main form, things
don't work as expected.

When I return to the main form, I trigger the on acitvate event to run
a macro. I can use the Dlookup function to update my fields, which is
OK. However, I intitially tried to use the Repaint Object command to
repaint the form. That did not work. Though I solved the problem with
Dlookup, I would like to know why Repaint Object did not work?????
 
Repaint just forces the screen to be written again.
It does not force the calculated controls to be recalculated (Recalc).
Neither does it force a bound form to reload all its records (Requery).
 
Thank you very much. You have a very good website. I was able to get
a lot of information off of it.
