I was trying several variation of the command MikeB submitted.
The main form is called: swo_list_form The MDI forms is called : swo_form and it is open as WOMDIForm The driving table in both form is wo_file The following command from the MDI form: PROPERTY swo_list_form|TABLE wo_file REFRESH Does not work and returns the error: ERROR component swo_list_form|TABLE not found in current form I have also tried: PROPERTY swo_list_form| RBASE_FORM REFRESH ‘TRUE’ And it not work and returns the error: ERROR component swo_list_form|RBASE_FORM not found in current form I have also tried: PROPERTY ‘swo_list_form|TABLE’ wo_file REFRESH And PROPERTY ‘swo_list_form| RBASE_FORM’ REFRESH ‘TRUE’ With no luck. I am obviously overlooking something simple.

In the form I have an enhanced speed button that launches an editable MDI form that displays data for the record selected in the grid in the Main table. The MDI form is used to edit work order data and uses the same table (wo_table). Now, when I update data in the MDI form, the changes are not reflected in the Main form. I tried using: PROPERTY table wo_table ‘RFRESH’ >From the MDI form, but it refreshes only the data for the MDI form and not for the Main form. I seem to recall reading about a PROPERTY command that allows updating the data in the calling form from the MDI form. Does anyone remember how to do this? Any help will be appreciated.
