Displaying Changes to a Record

Displaying Changes to a Record

Question:
I have set up a paradox table for multiple user access using the Netdir method, but when I post a record other users cannot see the changes until the table is refreshed. Is there any way to avoid this?

Answer:
Unfortunately, there’s not a real clean way to do this. Typically, I use dbiSaveChanges(Table1.Handle) to write data to disk immediately, so people moving from record to record will pick up changes. But other than that, a timed refresh seems to work the best.
