Form display errors

This is hard to describe, but I have a form where a pop up dialog box (such as 'Find and Replace') will remain as a white box over my form when the dialog box is closed. It's not just pop-ups, if I Alt-tab to another window, when I come back to the form the display is messed up with 'ghosts' from the window I came back from. I added a refresh to the 'On Exit' event of one of the fields on the form so I can click in and out of it to get rid of the white space, but why is this happening in the first place?

- ALSO - and more importantly, I have a subform with a memo field on it. When you enter enough data in the field to fill the area visible on the form, the data starts to scroll up, but it displays the last line visible in the field (before scrolling started) over again each time you hit enter (I have enter set as 'new line in field). Then, if you arrow up, the display 'fixes itself'. It is very hard to enter data with this happening. I have the subform view set to datasheet, but the same happens in form view.

Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.
 
And you didn't play with the Echo method ?

Hope This Helps, PH.
