Form refresh

[jjinx]

I am designing a databse with an access 2000 back end and a visual basic front end. All forms in this project are midi childs of the main form which does nothing other than allow the user to open the other forms. I need to be able to refresh any given form that is currently open if any changes have been made to the information in the database by another form.

Can anybody think of anything other thatn creating a refresh command on each form?

You can add a timer and refresh the form automatically after a given time interval (1 min, 5 min, etc.) instead of having the user click a refresh button. The time interval can be user defined. Thanks and Good Luck!
