If the AL is only running on Display, won't the $OPERATION$ value always 
be "SET"?

By the way, if your table is on a tab, I'd recommend turning OFF the 
"Refresh On Entry Change" setting.  A lot of the performance issues with 
forms displaying stem from tables that no one is looking at being 
refreshed when the form opens.  To make sure the table gets refreshed as 
needed:
     1.  Set the AL to run on "Display" AND "Gain Focus" of the tab its 
on.  No need to have it refresh on Window Open or Window Loaded.
     2.  Give it a Run If of 'Page holder' = "Tab Name" 
     3.  Action: Refresh the table.

That structure makes sure you only refresh the table when needed.  It used 
to take our Help Desk form up to 30 seconds just to display a record 
because of all the hidden table refreshes that were happening.  Now its 
less than 1 second.

Hopefully that helps some.

Re: Tables not refreshing "On Open"






David,

I suggest that you change the execute on condition to "Display" and
you might want to add $OPERATION$= "SET" (to only refresh the tables
when your looking at a data row) to the Run If. (If it is not already
there.)
