SET REFRESH TO <expN>

-----------------------------------
FoxPro/LAN command that displays changes made to records by other users
on network.
Default value - 5 seconds
-----------------------------------

FoxPro/LAN, the network version of FoxPro, allows sharing of database
files on a local area network.  One or more users on the network may
have concurrent use of a database and its records.  It's possible that
records you are viewing are simultaneously being edited by another user
on the network.  With SET REFRESH you may specify to update open BROWSE
and memo windows with changes made by other users, and how often the
updates will occur.

SET REFRESH affects records displayed on your screen with BROWSE and
memo fields opened with MODIFY MEMO. Also affected are records displayed
by CHANGE and EDIT commands (unformatted only).  SET REFRESH does not
affect any other commands.

-------

<expN>
        SET REFRESH accepts a numeric argument <expN> between 0 and 3,600. When
REFRESH is SET TO any non-zero value and another user has changed a
record displayed on your screen, it is updated with the changes when the
other user unlocks the record.

        A value between 1 and 3,600 causes the screen to be updated every
<expN> seconds.  If REFRESH is SET TO 1 screen updates occur every
second, if REFRESH is SET TO 3,600 updates occur once an hour.

        Regardless of the setting of REFRESH, if a record you are trying to
lock is locked by another user on the network, you will receive the
updated record when the lock is released by the other user.  You will
also receive the message "Record has changed."
