Personally that is what I would expect. The BeforeOpen
trigger will only be fired WHEN the query changes from
'NotOpen' to 'Open' state. I do not want it to fire when the
query is already open, as is the case if the RefreshAction
is set to maintain it open.

In this situation the query will always be open, so that
BeforeOpen will not ( and should not ) fire. So you need to
look at what you are doing - I have open master, detail and
sub-detail, using ParamByName and do not have any problem
with everthing refreshing when the user makes a change.

So as has been said - what are you trying to do?

The 'BeforeOpen' event should be used to set things like
database name, user settings and the like - once it has been
prepared and is in use, then you should be able to change
the parameters and refresh whenever you like. ( As I
understand things )
