The database is a range scheduling system for the Utah Test and Training Range. The Air National Guard runs range control. The program lists ALL of the missions or sorties being flown on the range and the ANG uses FAA radar screens and the schedule to monitor and approve air and ground traffic for the range.
Any time an update is made to the sortie, they input the update into the program and the screen needs to be refreshed. I am currently creating an ASCII file that refreshes every time a change is made, and they can scroll through all of the records that they desire, about 10 per screen. The digi-board that has been used for the last ten years to split the output to different workstations has died, and they can no longer scroll through records from individual workstations. They don't want to buy another digi-board right now, because I am upgrading it to a web-based system that will refresh automatically when it is finished. I have resorted to using the data browser/SELECT screen to view the data, and need it to refresh any time a change is made, so that they still have the most current up-to-date information. -----Original Message----- From: J.

By "flight control", you're surely not indicating something in the area of avionics, but rather something in the area of scheduling, correct? When the data is displayed for these users, is it via a form/data-browser/SELECT=>screen? By whichever means, how much data is displayed, that is, how many records/screen-rows/lines at a time? Maybe w/a bit more info, some of us could offer insights/possibilities. Lemme' know, Steve in Memphis BTW, as I recollect, some consultant down around Atlanta/Marietta implemented a target-selection database in RBase for Desert Storm/Shield. At some point I think I found his e-mail address and quizzed him in brief about it. He couldn't say much, as you might imagine. Just thought you'd like to know. -Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Farnsworth Midge D Contr 388 RANS/JT3" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 4:19 PM Subject: Autorefresh > Okay, I have a group of users who are trying to use my program as a flight > control program.
