how to check if database was modified...

hi guys/gals,

is there a way to check if the database was modified? im using 2 programs/projects using 1 database(ms access). the first one can add, edit, delete entries in the database. the second one is merely for viewing. my problem is if both programs are running at the same time, and the first program, added something to the database. is there a way for the second program to know that there was a change, and refreshes it's entries in the forms (specifically a combo box).

thanx in advance!
peace!

If your database supports triggers you might be able to set up a trigger that updates a "last modified" table.

Another approach is to have your second program update itself on some schedule without worrying if there has been an update or not.
