I use
dim mydb as recordset
and also use
mydb.update
in certain required places like the update command button clicking. It works, by adding the new value in database. I have a list that shows the values of that db. But the main problem is i cannot see the newly added values unless i exit and reopen the application. after reopen i can see the newly added value. But i want to see the value in run time after clicking the add button which add value from a text box that i write. Sorry for the long literature, please help me.

try list1.refresh after the updating part,

but sometimes this does not work.
Best way,after updating,close the connection then open it again,ok?

As i am not so expert, would u please tell me what should be the code example of closing connection?

What is the type of connection that you are using.

if u r using the DAO technique use the table recordset type at the time of opening the recordset. a sample is :-

dim db as database,rs as recordset

set db=opendatabase(app.path & "\mydb.mdb")
set rs=db.openrecordset("table1",dbopentable)
if rs.recordcount>0 then
''ur data showing code goes here
endif

otherwise u have to simultaneously unload and show up ur forms.
