Basically, the requery() returns all the data for a view, and the refresh() reexecutes the query on which the view is based. With the refresh() function, you have the option of refreshing the data for particular set of rows. Generally, requery() is a lot faster.

Short answer. It ain't easy. If what you want to do is have some data on a form on one workstation, change the data on another workstation, and have that form on the first workstation show the new data, then you have to refresh the first form (YourForm.Refresh()). You may be able to do this with a timer, but even that gets in the way if you're actively using the form. Like I said, it ain't easy! < s >
