Hi Peter,

Ah, that presents a different problem. As far as I know, the only way 
you could do that would be to send your info to a table that is also 
open (or in an open form) in ‘Instance #1’, and then have maybe a timer 
that looks at the table every-so-often and initiates the ‘locate’ 
function, when data in the table is seen to have changed.

It looks like Tom Krieg’s response covers this.

All the best with it.
