I work for a hospital and create simple but effective
Access databases. However I am having a problem with the
screen updates.
If I have a form with a button which goes off and gets
data from a 'main table' and populates a new table ready
for a report. However once this has been done, the main
screen closes so that report can be seen (and printed).
PROBLEM.. The report does not actually show on the screen
because the system has not refreshed the screen. Then if
you close the report that has not been displayed properly,
any other reports do not refresh and show.
Also if you close the form to go to design mode, the
screen again does not update?? I am having to close the
Db just so I can go back and see what I want to work on?
The problem exists on both Access 97 and XP as I have
tried it on both versions?
The PC is linked to a Novell network and the PC is a
1.8Ghz P4 with 20Gb HDD, 512Mb RAM and a 32Mb ATI Rage 128
Ultra Video card.
If anyone can shed any light on this problem I would be
grateful!
