I'm probably missing something silly here, but I have a screen that lists a 
database table.  If I add/amend a record and then look at the list screen 
again via a menu link the new information isn't shown until I refresh the 
screen or close the browser and open it again.

It seems to cache the page and just show what it already has.

Any way to stop this?

TIA

Jeremy

How are you viewing the data?  XbpBrowse, XbpQuickBrowse or what?

Put two pennies in pocket...they'll breed.

I should have made the question a bit more clear.  It's a simple table 
displayed using IE6 as a browser.

I'm sure it's something to do with the browser caching the page.

Aah.  In that case, in IE go to Tools/Internet Options then select General
tab.

The middle box is 'Temporary Internet Files', click on 'Settings'.

Ensure 'Check for newer versions of stored pages' is set to 'Every visit to
the page'.

After setting this,  click Ok and on the General tab click 'Delete Files'
to erase your cache (don't erase cookies if it asks!).

Spot on, it did the trick nicely.

Do you know if this setting can be set from the server side so I don't have 
to alter all my users PC's?

Thanks

Ignore my request, I've figured out how to do it.

Really?  How?

Consistency: The last refuge of the unimaginative

I couldn't find out how to set something on the server, but as I'm only 
running an Intranet I change the registry setting via the login script.

I created a reg file called ie-no-cache.reg with the content

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet 
Settings]
"SyncMode5"=dword:00000003

(for I.E version 4 use the DWORD SyncMode not SyncMode5)

and call it via the login script using regedit

regedit.exe /s ie-no-cache.reg

It would be nice to change a setting at the webserver to tell the client not 
to cache it.  I'll keep looking to see if it's possible.

I did an Internet search and here's another way I've found of doing it via 
HTML commands

<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">     I.E 4 and below
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1">     IE 5 and above
</HEAD>

<BODY onLoad="if ('Navigator' == navigator.appName) 
document.forms[0].reset();" >     Netscape

I'm checking it out now.

Finished testing and it works fine.

Yes, and if you can control such things on your web-server, you can set the
HTTP headers to tell both the browser and any intervening proxies not to
cache as well:

 http/1.1
Cache-Control: no-cache

 http/1.0 catch for Cache-Control empathy
Pragma: no-cache


Note that the pragma (including the one in your <meta> tag) is an HTTP/1.0
directive, so you should also add this tag to your pages because not all
browsers support all pragma's (but most are http/1.1 compliant)

 IE5, NS6 etc.
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-cache">

I have found this document to be very helpful when I had caching issues:
