  I have 2 forms, 1 for Viewing Info and the other for adding info. After adding the info, I need to fill page 1 (already opened) with the info from the database without having to implement a refresh button on page 1 How do I go about doing this from page 2(adding) I'm using VB 2005 Expess Edition. Thanks for all the Help.

   hi,

   

  maybe this will help.

  you mentioned about having a refresh button on the form1...why dont you just put your refresh button codes after the adding process from form2.

  'on form2 put there your

  'form1.refresh
  

  just to give you a hint...hope it's a help.^_~

  Hi,

   The best way to do it is creating a sub in the form that needs to be refreshed that handles the refreshing, and instead of type Private, declare this sub as public and this way you will be able to call it from the any other form ex: form2.RefreshForm()    that is if created a sub called "Public Sub RefreshForm()"

   

   This is my first post in this forum since about a year, it is nice to be back.
