Real-Time Flights Database

[Andyaf]

Hi,

I need some help optimizing a flight database I built for a project. The file is attached. Tab 1 (Updated Flight list) is pulling flight times for a website(starts on row 92). The second tab, "Selection" is a filter based on a drop down menu of all airlines.

I need help updating the data. Ideally, I would like for the data to update in real-time (instead of having to constantly hit the refresh button). If this can't be done in real time, is there a formula or code that can be created to automatically refresh the data in 5, 10, or 15 second intervals?

Can this be done?

Thanks very much for the help!

-Andrew

This topic is the same as last question of this, just a few hours of difference:

What you're doing "is called cross-posting and is generally frowned upon in the Blogosphere as it causes people to potentially waste our time when a question is already answered or to disperse our efforts thru repeated threads on the same subject. You should also check and respond to posts and let posters know if they are heading in the write direction or not." Hui's dixit, SIC. And I agree 101%.

If you'd have read the main green sticky post at this forums main page...

...you should have noticed this points:

"Consider that the world is operating 24hrs a day. A late post today may well be answered by someone else overnight."

"If you and a reader have been involved in an ongoing conversation and the conversation suddenly stops, recognize that the person may have gone to bed, even though you have just arrived at work. In the worst case a reader may go on holidays and not get back to the question for a few days."

"Never title your posts as "Urgent", "Priority" "Immediate". It may be Important to you, but not for rest of the members here. These words will be moderated out."

"Cross Posting, generally it is considered poor practice to cross post, that is to post the same question on several forums in the hope of getting a response quicker.
If you do cross post, please put that in your post.
Also if you have cross posted and get an answer elsewhere, have the courtesy of posting the answer here so other readers can learn from the answer also, as well as stopping people wasting there time on your answered question."

"Say "Thanks", whenever you can. Recognize when someone has bothered to go to the trouble and time to assist you with your question for free. Often readers will spend several hours working on a solution to a problem, a line of recognition will go a long way."
