Refreshing a form

6 New Member
I am attempting to create an "easy input (from the pov of the user)" form.

A main form displays one page per record with a sub form displaying a list of records related to the main record. The sub records can be updated manually (in particular -added). I want to add functionality where a user can also update (add) from a lookup. The look up is listing of records, (I am not adding a drop down because of multiple field search requrements) that the user can select from. I have succsesfully managed to get a second form to display search results and append flagged (Yes/No toggle) records to the source (sub) records.

The problem I am facing is that I cannot get the main form with main and related sub records to automatically update / refresh (without the closing and reoppening and then navigating to the required main record).

Can any one offer me advice on what I might be able to do (it's a might/maybe because I am new to this)?

Thanks

I don't really understand what you're trying to do. If you add or edit a sub record why do you need the parent record to change?

I've been searching, but apparently not phrasing my search right, so I'm going to float a question out here in the meantime... I'm wondering how to go about refreshing the content of a control (say, a selector) without refreshing the page. For example, if I have these selects: Company: <pick a company> Contact: <pick a contact> When they pick the company, I'd like to refill the contact selector based on

Form not refreshing after autopostback unless keyboard or mouse move Hi, We created several new ASP.NET C# forms for our intranet. In each form we use panels for different sections of the form that are visible or not depending on what the user is doing. Each particular form.aspx page has a user control on it. This user control contains the form HTML and the C# code.

Gudday, I have an Access 2000 database which I am using as a phone directory of residents in the hostel where I work. The front end for this directory is a form with a text box (the search name etc) and two combo boxes that let you choose options relating to the search name. These three controls are referenced by a query, the results of which are the control source for a subform on the main form. so far, so good.

Good day. I wrote an application to convert data from one database to another. It runs through about 100,000 records for this conversion. That bit works fine. I have on the form a progress bar and a label to tell me how far it has gotten and what record it is currently on, respectively. The problem is that usually (but not always), as it is processing

I'm building an application with Visual Basic 2005. The application is multi threaded. It has a record counter on the form that counts up to completion.

I am calling me.refresh() within the main process loop. Any ideas why this may occurr? Thanks,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
