Help needed!

[cduncan]

I am a novice and need help, i have built a simple database and i need to find out how to automatically update files across a network as soon as possible it updates on a couple of machines strait away but on others i have to close the database and then reopen it to get the updates. In addition to this i want to be able to search for a reference at the click of a button.
Any help on this would be greatly appricated as i am a novice
Thanks

i am making a database for laptops specifications for my job to make it a quicker process

look at sample db's plenty examples of search features in their.. & how are the tables updated ? is it via a nubmer of link tables or wat? its probably a case of setting the data refresh time but its difficult to say without knowing how the update information is provided...

Dear nun,
Do you have electricity in the monestary?

What are the references you are writing about? Isn't it just a manner of faith?

Sorry can't help myself... but the questions remains.

rubbish i wrote a nice big post for you duncan but it got deleted.. baisically im 99% sure you dont have a Requery statement for your gui. If I was you I'd create a nice little update button on that form using a UPDATE WHERE statement and requery everything after that..

you follow?

Dude you're being a lazy f'er. It's not that people don't want to help but you won't even help yourself. I just found everything you needed by searching the appropriate forum/critera and found dozens of links.
