Hi All

Another user on a network can change a particular field value in a dbf file from time to time. I want to check this field value now and then. What is the best way for me to pick up the new value?

SET REFRESH appears to apply to all open files which seems a waste since I am only interested in a single field from a single file. USE the file, read the field, close the file, and then re-USE the file seems like a lot of work too.

Is there a simple way to force VFP to re-read just the value of a particular field from a particular file?

Using VFP7.

TIA
