Update access form every 3 seconds
DisplayApp.mdb
I have been tasked with designing an access app that will show a form a big TV within a call center. This app will have forms that will need to show updated query results every 3 seconds. I have attached an .mdb with some tables and a form with subforms. I need help with the VBA to update the form every 3 seconds requerying all query's behind each subform on the main form. I'm also looking for any creative input that you can provide to dress up the form and make it eye catching / fun.

I setup the timer but its not refreshing the query behind the subforms
ASKER
Also is it possible to change the font size of datasheet view within the form?
for the sub forms include a line like this:
Me.SubFormConyrolName.Form
Me.SubFormConyrolName.Form

I found the code to change the font size of the datasheet view, I just need help with the timer refreshing the values on the subforms from the query results....and any eye candy help....
Private Sub Form_Load()
With Me
.DatasheetFontHeight = 14
.DatasheetBackColor = RGB(255, 0, 255)
.DatasheetFontName = "Verdana"
.DatasheetFontWeight = 700 ' bold
End With
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
With Me
.DatasheetFontHeight = 14
.DatasheetBackColor = RGB(255, 0, 255)
.DatasheetFontName = "Verdana"
.DatasheetFontWeight = 700 ' bold
End With
End Sub

I think the look of datasheet mode is not very eye catching. I never use them. All the user I have ask say that they are "ugly". The most common response. I agree. I think the look of a form in continuous mode can be made to be a lot more eye catching.
