Display real-time access data via projector

Access 2003

I have an access database used for scoring a high school sporting
event. Data is entered as scores are turned in from the different
events throughout the day.

I would like to display data via multi-media projector in real time,
so students & teams know thier status at all times.

I am open to ideas about how to achieve this. I have tried reports
and continuous forms, but haven't found anything that I like so far. I
also know that this will take multiple PC's linked to the same data
source.

Any & All Suggestions are Appreciated!

Last year I created a 'live' app where I present Outlook scheduling data on screen.
Data is synchronized with Outlook (and imported in Access) every 10 minutes.

So I would create a separate app to present the data on the screen.
Import or sync the relevant data in your app every xx minutes or so.
Show what you want to display on different screens/forms.
These screens could be subfoms, made visible when needed.
Use timerevents in the mainform to switch screens, switch recordsource and such.

Hi all, does anybody know of a bug in MacIE which prevents style.display = 'none' and style.visibility = 'hidden' from "sticking" in MacIE?

But in Mac IE I have a...

Hi, NG! Does anyone have any hint on how to get the PropertyGrid control to display more user-friendly "property" names, i.e. names that contain spaces, just the way the VS IDE does when you select a file in Solution Explorer to view its properties ("Build Action", "Copy to Output Directory" etc)? How are those strings displayed since they don't seem to be real property names as they contain spaces? I'm trying to achieve this in C#... ...

This works fine in IE, but is breaking in Firefox, and reported in Netscape as well. I can't determine why. http://www.chartermainstreetgld.com click on the real estate section on the left nav area. You can see where the green real estate image is being moved down a line in firefox, where IE displays it correctly.
