Hello OpenEdge/Progress 4GL!!!

I think I need an idea from you. I have created a smart viewer window and added smart fields,drop down boxes on it. Whenever I click on it then need to call a program(getlatestrecord.p) to get the latest records and fetch. So the concern here is there are more than 5 smart fields and drop down boxes available so what i have done is calling a program((getlatestrecord.p) under 'CHOOSE' event from each.

I don't think this is a smart way to do. As you know there are number of ways to do and get the same output.

You might have a question why I need to call a program every time from each smart fields,drop down boxes. This is because record will be updated to db every minute and window will only have initial fetch data when open it. I tried to implement PStimer Active X but faced some performance issue. Yeah!!! you are correct manual refresh is better.

Please advice. It would be better if you provide an small example.
