Question:

I am very new to VB and was wondering is there a way to have a form running that has a listbox that opens a table and displays data. Then if someone else runs the same program from another workstation and adds data to the table the list box will refresh by itself without having to reload the form. My boss wants to be able to have the form running and if someone else adds data then his screen shound be update automaticly. Im pretty sure this can't be done with a listbox but can a grid control do it and if so how.

Thanks All.

Use a timer...

Try to use a timer on the form, and every few seconds just update the listbox, if there is not too much data to load.

Hope this helps
