[AccessD] MDB Refresh interval

I see.  Yes, the refresh interval should make all the difference if
you're going to use bound forms that way.

Hey Charlotte
I have a little network setup in my office, 3 machines linked to a
server.  I have put the data on the server. Then on two of  the
machines, I start up the program and  open the same data entry
continuous form.

On one machine the form is an edit/update form, on the other it is a
view only form.
The idea being that when a record is deleted or changed I set a flag,
the OnTimer event for the view machine checks for this flag, if it finds
it, it refreshes/requeries the view form.

I was running a .1% scenario, "What if one user was viewing the data
while another user deleted a bunch of records one right after the other
real quickly", what would happen to the display on the view machine.

Somtimes, not always  I could trip up the program and cause error
messages to be displayed. 

By reducing the refresh interval this problem seems to have gone away. I
was just wondering if  this was truly a solution to the problem.
