I have a situation where I get regular updates on certain records on a database. There would be a few people viewing a few records in a database as a form. But during the time of viewing, there might be changes that can occur to the database. In such cases, we have to inform all of the people viewing this data that the data they are viewing are altered. The best way would be to automatically refresh the form with the new data, if that is not possible, atleast there should be an alert informing all viewing people a change in data.
