Thanks Bob
I haven't used the Timer yet so I forgot all about it.

Mark,
An Rbase session running on a network PC will not automatically change the
data displayed on a
different PC, unless the second PC performs some type of refresh operation.
So if I understand your need correctly.....
PC #1 and PC #2 have the same form with the same data displayed.
PC#1 changes that data, but PC #2 does nothing. No input, no change, just
sitting there.
You want PC#2 display to change to what #1 just entered.
To accomplish this, you would need to do one of two options:
Manual-
Place a button on the form that performs a REFRESH operation. PC #2
operator would have to
push this button to see the change on thier screen.
Automatic-
Use the FORM TIMER function to perform the same REFRESH every X number of
seconds. This would then refresh the PC#2 display even if no one was sitting
at the computer. You could set the timer to fire every 10 seconds for example
and the screen would refresh accordingly.
If you need more info on the TIMER function, there is an article on EDGE
website from Razzak or I probably can help you out.
Good luck,
Bob
