update needs a refresh

Hi all,
i have a section that runs an if then statement and updates the database
depending on outcome. This is fine however lower down in the page i have
a variable that requires the field record that has been updated but the
problem is that it takes the old value unless a page refresh is done.

I am assuming its due to the time to update the database. Is there anyway
around this?

thanks in advance

EDIT its that html thing again isn't it I keep on forgetting about this. Anyway
achieved it by setting a refresh page prior to loading the page mentioned above
and in the refresh page i run the if statement. Then use some javascript to
refresh instantly. Its a bit messy but its all i could come up with

Hello,

U Can Do Onething When U Need To Update Anything On Ur Page Open A
Popup Window Using Javascript And Write Update Code There. Once
Update Complete Give One Link To Close Window And On This Link Call
Javascript Function To Reload Parent From Child. So Child Window Will
Close And Parent Will Be Reloaded.
