Rick, Thanks Rick, it was the SET REFRESH setting I was missing. As soon as I changed it to 5,5 from 0,0 the form data refreshed.

If view is the table in the DE and buffered as well on either form in question? What is the second parameter for SET REFRESH set to? Timer does a refresh of the data how? You can try to RLOCK() and UNLOCK to trigger a refresh. Are you calling thisform.Refresh() thinking it could refresh the data? Refresh method only updates the form with the data in the buffer, not updating the buffer. If view, you need to perform a Requery().

Buffering is set to 5, and I'm using tableupdate to commit the change - tableupdate(1,.f.,'accounts'). There is a timer on the form that refreshes the form every 15 seconds, thereby updating the form and showing the changed data, but it is not working here. Is there another way to do this?
