Refresh all Users

[mainerain]

I have multiple users with their own local copy of the Front End file. On the main form there is an open report that reflects events the technicians have been entering. If a new event is entered it is only visible to the PC that made the change. The other users have to refresh on their own in order to see the new event that was posted. Is there a way to update all users at the time a new event is entered from any PC?



Thanks

If there was, it would be ill advised. Imagine being in the middle of data entry, only to have it get committed as is, or worse, be lost. You probably need to explain the user's process. It may be as simple as using Requery method whenever a user updates their data entry forms.

Event has a special meaning in Access. I think you are describing "a new record saved into a table".
As micron advised, more details of the process(es) involved, and the need for "latest info" would help put your post into context.

Point well taken. Thanks

I interpreted event(s) in the context of some activity that takes place. I think it's pretty safe to say that is what was meant, but I've been wrong before.

You could try to use the Timer event of the main form to requery the "open report" (should be a subform?) at certain intervals.
