Hi
I'm trying to create a real time monitoring screen for data that comes into our DB.
For example, a browse that constantly monitors (every 30 seconds or so or instantly) the status of a table (such as purchase orders). As soon as a new one is raised the browse updates with that information - so we see kind of a "latest 10 orders" in the browse.
Ill also be putting a stop button on the screen to stop this "Polling" method so that we can take a look at whats come in and print live reports.
My question therefore is has anyone done this. If I put the code in a normal style look that refreshes the browse Its impossible to press other buttons or use menu options as it locks everything up as its polling.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Ian
