Hi, > Description of problem: Is there any way to automate the refresh of the > overlayed data? I have, for example, overlaid on my map the front display and > a METAR. Can I set it to auto update every 4 or 5 hours, rather than right > clicking and doing update? Most of the data sources support an auto-reload facility. Right click on the data source in the field selector to bring up the Properties dialog. There should be a "Reload" checkbox and a time interval field. -Jeff Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: NBN-818380 Department: Support IDV Priority: Normal Status: Closed
