>>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.

PMFJI but I think that you are brining in too much data from your back end. The remote view should only contain child records for a single parent, not all the parents and the kids records.

This way when I edit my records, it pertains only to one parent / customer / inventory item. This gets tricky because you know your data and you may have yours set properly for your environment.

Say you are editing line itmes in a sales order. You may have the ability to pick which order from a list /grid? I am thiniking that you have joined all the headers and line items together in your view? If someone else is editing another SO for that customer than you might step on each others data with timed updates.
