Timer Control Problem!!!

[bmckenna]

Hi,

I am using a timer control on a primary form that kicks off every 15 seconds. This refreshes a grid which shows data from a database. My probem is when I click on a menu function, another form pops up that allows me to edit data. When I make the change to the data it updates the database. I then close out the form. However, the primary form that has the timer control now has focus again but is not firing once the form has regained focus. What am I doing wrong.

Thanks,
Blake

Anyone have any ideas on this one?

Is it not firing or not updating? E.g., if you put in a msgbox or debug.print, what happens?

Just a guess. You disabled the Timer but do not re-enable it.

A Timer event will fire regardless of whether the form has focus or not.

Either that or the data is not refreshing, so he thinks it is not firing...

Try refreshing the form.

e.g form1.refresh
