Crystal reports refresh

Hi,

when I have a crystal report open, and I make some changes to the database values through access, I often have to click the REFRESH button twice in order for it to update the data in the report. Why do I have to click it twice before it reacts?

Thank you,

F

WHen you click it once does the report react/refresh just not with the new data?

Do you work in Access then click on the Crystal window to give it focus then have to click twice or is the first click of refresh giving the Crystal window focus and the second is the command to Crystal?

Hi,

I have another form open that's connected to my access database which the crystal report uses.

It has focus, when I click the refresh button, the spinning dialog appears showing it's working. Sometimes even after clicking twice it's still showing the unupdated version! I have to click 4-5 times.

I found that the only true way to do this is to close the form with the crystal report and re-open it, that's guaranteed to show me the updated version... I guess it is a bug.
