Could anyone help me get started - an access database is frequently updated by another application. my VB application needs to react immediately to these changes.Thanks in advanceDave

You need to poll the database. Best to use a timer. Unlike grown up databases, you can't easily get Access to notify you.

thanks Dominicwould you be prepared to develop some code to get me started for a fee? ... an application frequently updates a Microsoft Access database (it could be 97, 2000, etc) and I want a Visual Basic 6 project to react to these changes and find tables & records and make a few decisions.
