There are a couple of ways to do this. Simplest is just to REQUERY() your view in the Activate event of form A. If you are using tables, then a form.refresh() in the activate will do the trick.

Another way is, if Form a calls form B, then make form B modal and do your refreshing or requerying right after the call to the form.
DO FORM myModalForm
THISFORM.Refresh

Still another is simply to call form A refresh from form B

A fourth (and possibly most flexible) method would involve some sort of form messaging framwork in which an intermediate messaging object holds references to all open forms and has the ability to broadcast a refresh order to any or all forms.
