Hi,

What you can do is, use the Refresh method to update the records in the underlying table/query for the form whenever the form receives the focus:

Private Sub Form_Activate()
Me.Refresh
End Sub

otherwise try to do refresh everytime you move to next record or any other event as required.

You can use the OnTimer event to auto refresh the forms. I used this in a HelpDesk application that I built in Access97 to refresh ticket tickets shown on intial screen. Hope this helps ya!

Set the value of your Timer Interval = 300000 (this equals 5 minutes) or whatever you want.

In code behind form ....
Public Sub Form_Timer()
AutoRefresh
End Sub

Public Function AutoRefresh()
Me.Refresh
End Function

Simply you are calling the AutoRefresh() when the timer reaches the limit you set. It refreshs the current form ("Me" being your current form)
