Auto refresh of FM portal when ODBC table updates

Howdy,

I have a portal that contains two fields from a MySQL database via ODBC. What I would like to achieve is that these fields "auto-update" when the underlying data changes in the ODBC datasource. As it is now, I have to manually call the "Refresh Window" function, and do so via a button/script ("Update") that uses the Refresh Window script step with both "flush" options selected. I have tried using this in a script trigger for the OnModify for the portal and also for the fields themselves. No luck; still have to click the "Update" button to have the new values display. Is this possible to do "auto-magically" :-)

Cheers!

Lyle

Never mind ... it's simply a matter of checking the "Auto-refresh Grid" check box ... in Alpha Five v11 :)
