The want a little pop up, but not maximize the grid form because they may be entering a clinical note in another application and don't want to be disturbed...much, just a little notification.
If I make a small non-modal form with a simple text message in it, I should invoke that form from the timer if new records were picked up? v/r //SIGNED// Stephen S.
