Fine on a fast network, if you have a number of clients
'dialing in' you will hit the problem I did. You still have
to refresh, but it happens for EVERY event, even if nothing
has actually changed on the client view <g>

I have built my own 'events' which sends a broadcast message
including the record number, then only the clients that are
using that number ask for a refresh, worse case a single
record is transfered to all clients. For simple stuff, I
just replicate the data in the message. The result is very
fast responce at the client, because each is actually using
a local copy of the data on a local Firebird.
