>Form has a private data session. Data environment contains tables. Tables are buffered (5). User has form open. In the mean time another user has updated some information to the table. If user closes and opens the form again, the form will show the new changes. Looking for a way to "REFRESH" the controls. In my mind i need to get the data enviroment refreshed to include the newly updated information.
