I just made a link between a MySQL database and a Filemaker database.
I can reed information within Filemaker(FM) from the MySQL table. I
even can change the contents in a field in FM that fysically is in
the MySQL file.
But I do not see the changes directly. Only after closing and
reopening FM the field is realy changed. Is there a way to synchronise
the MySQL record? Maybe in FM or in MySQL?
Thanx for any help. Harry

I'm not sure if it's the cause of your problem, but newer versions of
FileMaker have a "feature" where data isn't actually saved like it used to
be when changes are made. You may have to somehow incorporate FileMaker's
Commit command to actually save out changed data.

The data you are viewing in FileMaker is cached for speed of viewing.
You can add a Refresh [flush cache] button to the layout, or add such a
script as a layout script trigger when changing records, or a timed
script trigger that refreshes every x seconds as needed.
