Requery form from another Access database

[rmitchell]

I have a form that displays work order information for several plastic molding machines in a manufacturing production floor. The form is displayed on a large TV on the floor. I've created another form to input updated info so the form on the TV can be updated from a workstation. What I would like to do is have the input form on several workstations on the network so other supervisors can easily update the display form. All the controls are unbound on the display form. Is there a way I can have multiple access files on the workstations that will change and requery the form on the TV?

On the timer event of the displayed form and set the timer interval to an appropriate value. 1000 is one second so one minute would be 60000.
