>I have a multi-user form that is accessing a table via a remote view. The remote view is displayed on the form using the grid control. The users that have the form active need to know when data is changed continuously. I was thinking of putting a timer control with a requery() command in it. What are your suggestions in this matter. Thanks in advance.
That depends on if the users are changing the data on that form. If so, then a timer firing a REQUERY will give you uncommitted changes errors. But if the view is always clean, this should work fine. Just balance out the importance of the frequency of the updates with network traffic concerns when you decide how to set the timer's interval.
