Sorry if I wasn't clear; the database is stored on the server and any changes made on any of the three mirc instances update the database file just fine. The difficulty is that when somebody is viewing the database in mirc and somebody else makes a change to the database file, the change isn't reflected in mirc for the first person. The db is displayed in an @window.
What I need is for changes to the database file to be updated in all clients that currently have it open in mirc. Monitoring the file for changes with a timer and $crc and then reloading the entire thing seems like overkill.
I realise there may be better things than mirc for this, but mirc is what I know and it's very quick to write up a script. I'm writing some scripts to assist in the repetitive tasks I do in my day job.
Cheers
