Updating database

Hi all

I have a PDF that is hooked up to a database from Access using ADBC and ODBC that pulls in addresses into the correct fields. All is well but one thing, when you go to update the Access database such as changing and adding details, these amendments dont pull through into the PDF, what is the best way to get this to update automatically or do i have to recreate the link every time to reset it.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give :-)

That depends how you set it up. Updates to the database will be available to the PDF immediately, but you must make a new call to get them.

My apologies, the person updating the Access database was updating the wrong file! When you update it, you were right it does it automatically! Thanx for ya help!
