Thanks, Jan. It makes sense to use that approach. I will test that. James Belisle

Jan, If the other forms run off of a main form, then as long as the application is up, that custom form action would run based on the timer, correct?

Jim, Do you use a Form as your main menu? If so, you could try creating a custom form action to do want you want. Call the form action every 1-2 minutes using the form timer.

WE use RBASE 9.5. I want to use a table (we will call it table1) to gather work punches from the shop. Then at let's say every minute I want to update other tables based on this gathered info. This would be instead of doing it each time a row is added to table1. What would be the most efficient way to do this? I looked at triggers, but it seems they would be based on each time a row is added. I am not sure if I want to go that route.
