I am trying to create a screen that would show records that have missing data and need attention from the dispatcher. I want to use 'select' statements to compile this data from a couple of different sources. When the select is complete, I want the grid to update, and then the select reruns. This would go on continually. The problem is that I want the grid to be active while the select statement is running. I can do this if I have 2 seperate programs running, but I don't want to make the user click on 2 seperate icons (that would be stupid). Back in my main frame days we had 'phantom users' that would run in the background. Is there a way to make a program run continuesly, and have a form active at the same time?

Thanks,
