Hi all,
New to this site - so hope I can be as precise as possible with my question :
Is it possible to run the timer constantly whilst changing forms e.g somehow run it as a background process. Basically I want a "process" to count certain records in a database table and update a global variable that I can access from any Form. As certain records can be added to the table at anytime i want the timer/process to check/count every 3 mins or so and update the variable ?
Is it possible to do this with the timer or any other method (apart from effectively coding this into every Form) ?
Cheers all
