I have many mxds and many objects per mxd that need to be auto-updated when the map document is opened (so that they reflect the current data in the table). </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>On a related note, I'm also trying to prevent the object from auto-resizing when refreshed (since the layout is static, they need to stay the same size). </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Ideas?
