Question : ADP only please (Access Project) CONTINUOUS FORM REFRESH
|
|
I have a continous form (DISPATCHBROWSER2000). I double-click a particular record, and the (WAYBILL) form opens to the appropriate record. All fine there.
Then In the WAYBILL form I have a Command Close Button with the following code:
DoCmd.Close FORMS!DISPATCHBROWSER2000.Refresh
All fine and good...the DISPATCHBROWSER2000 form refreshes showing all the changes that were made on the WAYBILL form.
What I don't like is that the form refreshes itself (back to the top) and I have to scroll back down again to see the changes on the record I was just editing.
Is there any way to refresh the DISPATCHBROWSER2000 form without that happening. I would like to exit the WAYBILL form and have the DISPATCHBROWSER2000 refresh, but put me in the same spot I was working on.
I would like these changes to be seen dynamically updated every few seconds without having to refresh the form.

I agree that it's befuddling to want to refresh and stay on the same record BOTH. Here's another possibility...
After you refresh the form, you can go to a bookmark like this: -------------- Me.Requery Dim RS as Recordset '(this might have to be a DAO recordset in order to have the FindFirst??? Not sure). Set RS = Me.RecordsetClone RS.FindFirst "[Product ID]=" & ProdID Me.Bookmark = RS.Bookmark ---------------
The question is how you find the record that you want. Some people save the value in a global variable but I usually eschew that. Depending on how your form is set up you might find another way to save or pass the value.
Hope this starts a spark...
