Refreshing Records in a Shared Form

If you are sharing an OmniForm database with other users, you can refresh records
to see if they have been updated by others while you were working on it.
To refresh a record or records:
1. Open a form in OmniForm Filler.
2. Choose Refresh Record or Refresh All Records in the Records menu.
These commands are available only if the form has been set up to be shared.
OmniForm checks to see if records have been updated and then displays the
latest updates.

Exporting Data

You can export data from OmniForm records to:
Share information with other OmniForm databases.
Data exported as a database file takes up considerably less disk space than the
database itself. Therefore, it can be copied or mailed more quickly than the
entire database.
Share information with different databases.
For example, you might have a FoxPro database where you want to enter
information from an OmniForm database. Simply export the needed
information from OmniForm in the appropriate format and use FoxPro's
commands to import it.
Tip
You can also send other OmniForm users an OmniForm Data file. This
is useful for sharing data when you want to send another user only part of
a database. For more information on OmniForm Data files, please see
OmniForm's or OmniForm Filler's Help.
