[RESOLVED] MSFlexgrid - Refreshing data on grid.

I am new to VB6.

I have a MsFlexgrid that loads data from an Access table. I have an Edit button on the same form as the MSFlexgrid control. This Edit button calls a 2nd "Edit" form.

I can Edit a record/row just fine in the Edit Form. It updates the Access table record, but does not refresh on the MSFlexgrid after exiting the Edit form.

The row contains the original value. If I edit it a second time, the Edit information box has the changed data.

In the "main form" in the Form_Load() I have:

Call UpdateGrid
' This upates the MSFlexgrid control from a recordset.

When I exit the Edit Form, I update the Access table and from
here Call "Main Form".UpdateGrid (Same sub)

What trick am I missing with the MSFlexgrid control?

Here is some of the UpdateGrid code if that matters:

Code:

---

Public Sub UpdateGrid()
    Dim strSql            As String
    Dim intRecordCount    As Integer
    Dim intTheRow        As Integer
   
    strSql = "Select name, address from names'
    Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
    With rs
        .ActiveConnection = adoSupplier
        .CursorType = adOpenKeyset
        .CursorLocation = adUseClient
        .LockType = adLockOptimistic
        .Source = strSql
    End With
    rs.Open
       
    intTheRow = 0
    With fgrdNames
        .TextMatrix(0, 0) = "Names"
        .TextMatrix(0, 1) = "Address"

        Do Until rs.EOF
            intTheRow = intTheRow + 1
          .TextMatrix(intTheRow, 0) = rstSupplier.Fields("name").Value
          .TextMatrix(intTheRow, 1) = rstSupplier.Fields("address").Value
          rs..MoveNext
        Loop
    End With

When you exit your Edit form and call UpdateGrid, did you check what's happening inside the loop? Did you add a brakpoint to see if it was looping something?
Also that UpdateGrid is present just in the main form, isn't it?

Yes I have checked.

It definitely gets called and loops through the recordset a 2nd time (when existing the edit form).

Any ideas on why it is not refreshed on the screen in the MSFlexgid?

Do you have two periods here or is that a mistake?

Code:

---

rs..MoveNext

---

There should only be one.

There is only one in the actual code. My mistake. I hit key again after I pasted the code.

Is the connection adoSupplier the same connection used by the Edit form? Are you using the Jet Provider? Jet caches writes to the database. Only recordsets opened on the same connection will see the updates immediately. If you are using a different connection you will need to wait a few seconds before retrieving the data.

If adoSupplier is the same connection used by both, try this change

VB Code:

With rs
        [B]Set [/B] .ActiveConnection = adoSupplier
        .CursorType = adOpenKeyset

brucevde,

You are the man.

Thank you. I was using a different Connection and it was "caching". I could not figure out why this was working in "debug" mode, but not real time.

I passed the same "adoConnection" to the Edit form and it works now.

I have been beating my head against a wall for over 3 hours trying different things.

Thanks again. I can only hope that the favor will be returned to you 10 fold.

P.S. I consider this one resolved, but do not know how to "tag/mark" it as such. :thumb:
