Hi, everybody,
I am using DataGrids to show database data (SQL 2000) in my VB application, let the user to select the record in the DataGrid and see the details. 10 users. I use Client cursor and Static recordset. Now the User wants to see all additions that are made to the data in the database. I was thinking about Dynamic Recordset and Server Connection. But DataGrid control doesn't want to work with Dynamic Recordset (recordset is not bookmarkable).
Any sugestions how can I show dynamic data?
Thank you.
 

Add a button [lightening bolt] to the form or toolbar that allows the user to refresh the data.

They got to be reasonable about this - for their own benifit.
What would happen if data was added/changed/deleted every 5 seconds? The client would then really have something to complain about, esp. when then screen and data that they are currently looking at blinks and changes often.
I could only see doing this when displaying single records, or dynamic graphs, or critical situations, or in real surveillance situations, for the most, but not your every-day normal data.

Dynamic cursors the slowest and have alot of overhead, so use this sparingly.
