Thank you for your input. I will consider this approach.

>>Hi,

>>I have the following situation (it has been working like this for years and 99% of customers accept it.) But there is a relatively new customer, who is a PITA, that complains. Hence I want to ask the question to see if any one has suggestion(s).

>>First, the entire app is based on Cursor Adapter (CA).
>>There is a window where a user posts one or more received parts. For example, that part A, qty 10 received, part B, qty 2 received.
>>There is another window, Parts Master window, where all parts are shown. The quantity in-stock shows the value in the SQL Server DB table (when the window was open and the CA populated). There is a Refresh button (up in the right upper corner) that when clicked on, the in-stock quantities are updated. But this customer - PITA - is too lazy to press on the Refresh button. He wants the app automatically update the in-stock quantities of the Parts Master window.
>>I have explained to him that the Post Receiving could be even happening on another computer. But to no avail; he is not listening. Of course, I can tell him (and maybe I will) to go jump in the lake. But, first, I wanted to see if there are any suggestions hers.

>>TIA
