Doug, Do you have this one resolved?
Jan -----Original Message----- From: Doug Hamilton <[email protected]> To: [email protected] (RBASE-L Mailing List) Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 19:19:33 -0600 Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Can't read updated table column Thanks Steve - I had RECALC VARIABLE in another place and I think I got an "Obsolete command" message, or maybe it was RECALC TABLES. I'll try the RECALC VARS again. I had PROPERTY TABLE...REFRESH, but that didn't seem to help, I think because this is a variable form with no driving table and R:Docs says "Refetches data from the database to update a dataset’s view of data." Sounds tempting but I'm not sure it's applicable. Of course, I could be wrong. Thanks again.
