misterDee,

I have never worked with AutoIt and Access, so please take this as a helpful suggestion and not a guaranteed solution. ;)

To change the data in AutoIt ususally requires the use of GUICtrlSetData to change the content of a control. So I suggest that you put the whatever code you need to read the data from Access into a loop and then use GUICtrlSetData to update the Autoit control if it alters. I can well imagine that the implementation may be somewhat more complex than that simple statement, but I think it is worth a try unless you get a better idea from someone with Access experience.

Good luck - and do come back if you run into problems.

It might be that what you need is _WinAPI_InvalidateRect.

Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.

Hmm.. i think your closer.. i see the GUI refreshin', but the label doesnt change ;)

$gui=guicreate

_WinAPI_InvalidateRect($gui) that is what you mean?

Yes, but if the gui is one you created with AutoIt and you have a label which shows the data then what Melba23 said is corrcet. You need GuiCtrlSetData($label, $newtext)
