We have 2 MS Access front end guis we use to enter data into an MS Access
master table, stored in a llinked MS Access database on a shared network
drive. I want to be able to run a procedure/macro whenever the record count
in the master table increases. I can tell when I add a record to this table
becasue I hit the save record button. However, I need to run the same
procedure/macro when the other user updates the table too without exiting the
data entry gui.

Does anyone have any idea how I can tell if the master table has been
updated by the other user?

Not sure if this is the proper place to post this but thanks in advance to
anyone who can point me i teh right direction!

In other databases, a trigger would be used for this kind of thing. But since
Access isn't a real client/server database, it doesn't support triggers.
