>>>SET REFRESH TO has two parameters and second one conrols how offten foxpro refreshes local buffers.

? SET("REFRESH")   && returns the first value that affects BROWSE  refresh
>>>? SET("REFRESH",1)   && returns the second value that affects local buffer refresh

By default Value1=0 - no refresh and Value2=5 - refresh local buffers every 5 second. SET REFRESH TO 0 will set Value1 to 0 and Value2 to 5.

SET REFRESH TO 0, 1  && sets 0 as Value1 and 1 as Value2.

Thanks, very useful
