refreshing forms

[vic]

Hi,

I have a form which holds record details called
frmViewDetails. This form has a subform
frmViewActionDetails, which holds one or many actions per
record. There is also a button which opens a new form
(frmAddNewAction) which allows the full details of each
new action to be added.

When I close the AddNewAction form, the original
ViewActionDetails subform has not been refreshed. I
currently have a seperate refresh button, but this isnt
exactly elegant.

I have looked at the generated code behind the standard
refresh button, but cannot figure out where I can specify
the name of the form I want to refresh.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Many thanks

vic

Hi, I use a similar process, what I do is to close the

form before I add the new process and when I close the
new process form have the previous form open again.
This then shows the new data. Hope this helps.
