SUMMARY
Although the Requery, Repaint, and Records Refresh items are different, you
can use each of them to ensure that what you see on the screen is updated.
MORE INFORMATIONRequery
The Requery macro action updates controls, such as list boxes and combo
boxes. It works for the form on which those controls exist only if you
don't include arguments.
Repaint
Repaint is not related to data; it merely redraws the object or control. If
there is data that has been updated in the underlying dynaset but is not
reflected on the form, you cannot use Repaint.
Records Refresh
Records Refresh requeries the form itself, as opposed to any control on the
form.
